My first vending spot!

       Wow! This is it! My whole week has been packed with so much to do! I've been getting a lot of orders in though my Etsy page! https://www.etsy.com/shop/CuriousCultureCo so I've had to put other projects to the side to mail out the clothes in time. and now have met up with The Good Life Collective and am joining them on there booth for a few festivals this year.So I've been pricing out all of my clothes and making sure they are all neat and ready to go. The rates work out the same as I paid my last manager but I have the perks of running everything but the selling.I can't wait til the next festival so I can get out there myself and sell all my clothes! I already have a plan of wearing all the clothes I had to keep for myself and hula hooping outside the tent. I could also spin fire too if I wouldn't get in trouble. Then when people walk by they will see what I'm wearing an get a good feel for how these garments are worn.
         So, I signed the contract on Monday, I bought business cards on Tuesday and am selling shit by Thursday! Things are really picking up around here fast. And I'm excited to be involed in this new experience and see where it brings me and my clothing.

Red Flower Sexy Spring Dress and Top

 I connected this fabric in the front with a little plastic black circle piece.

I love how all of these photos came out so I had to post them all! This is the first dress I ever made And I think it came out great! I'm asking $45.00 for it.It will fit woman size small.The material is a nylon/polyester. https://www.etsy.com/shop/CuriousCultureCo

Rhinestone Dancer

                                 The skirt has tassels on both sides and the the flare only one. The shirt is covered  in rhinestone and has a rhinestone flower to match the shirt.

       The rhinestones go all the way around the ties to the back.

          

I love this costume so much. The black fabric is super comfortable and make the shine and color of the rhinestones pop! The 3 different layers of rhinestone tassels are accessories I love and need to have!!

Tan Chenille Yarn Crochet Vest

This vest took me about 6 hours to make but the yarn was a hand me down so I'm only charging $50.00 dollars for it. The chenille is super soft and lays great on the body.

Back to the Matrix

I love this pattern it totally reminds me of the movie The Matrix!! I tried to make a shirt that you could wear outside a concert or festival for once. lol So any way, The costume fits small size woman the best. The skirt elongates to 16 inches.the leg flares flares about 18 inches wide.

Reversible Vest with matching skirt and leg flares

This costume will fit size small the best. The fabric is polyester/cotton/spandex. The vest is reversible. It has a gold button on each side. Bonus! It has little hidden pockets on the pink side and I sewed a pocket on the side of the skirt.

Photoshoot final photos

       So Wendel and I finally got some of the shots we were looking for. I can't wait to work with him again. It was such a difference working with some one that knew what they were doing with a camera and lighting. Instead of  improving with all the lights in my house.Plus I usually take the photos myself, so it was nice to be able to go into each pose with out having to break my mode. He doesn't  have much experience photographing people so this was a new challenge for him too.
       We met up after work on a Saturday.We got straight to business. Not knowing what to expect I had to re-arrange a few things. As Wendel adjusted the lighting I put on some Bonobo for mood and I changed into my first costume and stood as a lighting dummy for about an hour and a half until we got it right.
        Right off the bat the photos were coming out great. Each shot getting more and more comfortable. Comparing how each photo came out compared to my personal picture taking was outstanding! I was so impressed and I was ready to move on for more shots.By the 4th costume I was losing steam. It was taking longer and longer to get that perfect shot. I tried reapplying my make up but nothing could hide how tired I was, working since the crack of dawn. At the end of the night which ended up being about 5 hours of work, we got over 300 photos and 5 outfits.
