What I love most about crocheting is that I can create shapes that I want: Conventional shapes to unusual ones. This is the logic I apply in creating clothes. I imagine the shape I want. I look for inspirations on how clothes are formed. I look for laces of different kinds until I can stumble on the one lace I would use for my project, then I study how each part of the lace would contribute to the creation of the shape.  Then I crochet. Or with careless attitude, I just hook up and crochet.

I love clothes. Well, to put it bluntly, I love making clothes, but I am not skilled at sewing that crocheting has been my ultimate armament in dressmaking. Hence, I put forward my passion in couture towards crochet and how I can improve my skill to become a good tailor.

An example of this effort is studying how crocheted lace will hold the bust or shape it in such a way that it will hug the bust line. This was initiated on my first attempt at creating a dress (remember the gold one?) Now I want to make another but I have to create a different design, so the shaping of the bust is different.

But again, since I am petite, the dress would again hug the upper body and will be flowing from the bust line until mid length of my thighs.  This, of course will be decided as I create each part of the garment.

On the crocheted lace, the whole thing was crocheted in rows and I formed the shape by gathering the stitches in such that it will form a slanting angle from the rounded corner. It took me three attempts to attain the desired shape, and thanks to this that I keep regaining my cool on attempting to understand how the whole OOP thing would work on javascript, next to PHP, I think JS is the most hard-headed bunch of all languages. Now, I am ranting.
