Dorotee Sweetlips Upcycled Series Preview // Vanilla Day Dream

Here's a preview of one of the pieces from the Day Dream collection. Third piece posted so far out of the 4 pieces. Will shoot the dress today for posting later. Hope you like it.

Dorotee Sweetlips Upcycled Series // Peachy Day Dream

One of the pieces of the Day Dream collection I made for my Animetics fashion show last month. I was meaning to give each piece a proper preview shoot before listing them but I guess I just don't have the time right now. Too busy it hurts! Huhuhu.


Peachy Day Dream is a cute high waist jumper skirt perfect for Manila weather. Bodice is made of textured chiffon and bottom part is a dainty cotton with floral prints and white eyelet lace cotton. Finished with embroidered tulle trimmings.


Back has a low V cut. Really cute with that angel wing sleeves!


Matching head piece is a half bonnet with bow and flower hair clip.

This piece is part of my brand's project for a cause so I will be forever grateful if you share my work so we can help some furbabies out there. TIA! <3

Dorotee Sweetlips Upcycled Series // Ivory Day Dream

Kinda late as promised but here are the detail shots of Ivory Day Dream piece for the Dorotee Sweetlips Upycycled Series project.

The cut is a cute A-line shape perfect for a cross-over of cult party and lolita. It can also be styled into mori kei if worn without a petticoat.

Material is a nice cream cotton adorned with embroidered tulle lace.

The highlight: the detachable sleeves. Dress down by skipping the sleeves for a more casual look.

Simple twin bows as a matching accessory since the sleeves acts as an accessory too. Very cute when worn with twintails!

9 years of friendship

Yesterday marks our 9th year together. I think for a relationship to work, two people shouldn't be just lovers but also bestfriends. We're not married, but I'm proud to say I understand life-partnership more than most married couples. Life partnership is not about cheesy things, really. But you know you're good when you don't have to shut out your flaws to please the other. You know you're good when you can be your most evil self and not having to worry of being judged.

No big plans for the day. Went spontaneous by having some yummy cupcakes at Vanilla and admiring the interiors for the nth time. Little Beau Crescent enjoyed the bright colors. :)



Glorietta 5 branch rearranged their furnitures. I specifically love this little corner. I might come back with a friend or two to shoot here.

Got odd stares for my look just like the old days. The rainy season is finally here and it's time to dress up again. This year's summer makes me want to just walk around the house naked all day. lol. Cuddling feels cozy again too, finally. :))

Outfit rundown:

Labyrinth Garden dress and boots | Dorotee Sweetlips bow and waist bow | Toxic Kitty necklace

Spotted some kawaii things at Claire's Glorietta 5.


These glasses have a KPP-ish vibe in them, don't they? So cute!


Decided to dine at Cabalen. Some nice interior yes, but the food was a bad decision. lol

Despite the 'meh' food. I managed to sneak some photography levelz on them. Hehe. So happy to be reunited with my D40! I wish I can get her a good prime lens for more awesomeness. I know I should so I can capture more beautiful memories with the coming of my daughter. So excited~

Dorotee Sweetlips // Ichigo Princess

This would be the last dress commission for the first half of the year. I'll be resting for two months for my maternity rest but I can still work on small commissions though like accessories and little trinkets as long as I have the proper materials on hand. :)

 
 The set includes an OP, overskirt, a petticoat and a matching hat.

 
 Overskirt is detachable. My client requested for a long dress at first because she's going to use it to a ball and there is a dress code. I suggested that we make a two-way dress so she can still wear the dress on other occasions.

 
 Main material is a nice japanese cotton with strawberry prints and polkadots. I used a textured sheer fabric as accent.

 
I added shirring at the back as requested by the client.


And the matching princess hat that really turned out cute. I might stock hats like this for inventory. I hope I find time for it. <3

Dorotee Sweetlips Upcycled Series // Rose Pixie

I was supposed to release it last month but I guess February was just too... short? Haha. I have showcased this piece as part of my collection during my fashion shows in Jfashion Year 4 by Thomasian Nihon Kyoukai and Mata Expo.


Main material is printed cotton. Bodice is adorned with ruffled lace over tulle and topped with blushed organza bows.


Back part of the skirt is overlaid with lace that mimics the look of a trail or a cape for extra drama. I guess this is the main accent of the whole piece since the design is really simple but with the added lace overlay, I'm sure the wearer will feel princessy and graceful with every move.



Rose Pixie will be posted in Dorotee Sweetlips page today so if you're interested with this one of a kind piece, better watch out! See ya! xoxo

Dorotee Sweetlips Upcycled Series // Classic Rosetta

Here's a very wearable upcycled piece for the Dorotee Sweetlips Upcycled Series project. I've been growing quiet a number of patrons who likes my functional pieces more than my creative pieces.. I understand the feeling of enjoying to look at really frilly lolita dresses but sometimes we just can't find the courage to wear them out especially on a Philippine setting. It feels nice too to have a different set of audience - not specifically lolitas but also those who simply likes unique fashion. So yea, as always, part of the proceeds will be donated to animal welfare when this dress finds a new owner. Hope you can help me fulfill my simple cause. 

Bodice's material is a nice georgette. It's a breathable fabric that is perfect for Philippine weather. It's adorned with bows made of quality ribbons.


Print is vertical strips of pale pink and white with lovely paisley print.


Hem is trimmed with a very soft cream lace.


Matching headdress is a bow made of chiffon.
