16 Wiksten Overdue

I'm reaching into the vault here and I'm finally showing my Wiksten tops.
*eesh*
I made this over a year ago. I know-I know! So late. When I saw Irene's Nani Iro version (back in November) I even commented that I was going to share mine soon. Shame on me. 
So here is my Nani Iro Wiksten. Double gauze and extra yummy. I made it into a dress, but after a few wears and pairing it with tights, the fabric would cling to the tights. Not a pretty sight.
So the answer to my problem... I'm gonna chop the length, make it into a top and if there's enough leftover, I'll make a skirt for Lala. If not a skirt than a scarf. *ugh* The thought of cutting this wonderful fabric makes my tummy turn...Oh the carnage!!!

Okay... now this one is even older than other one, but I had to show you it.
All lace with lining only in the front. Woohoo! A little bit of sexy doesn't hurt.
HA!
That's me being a dork. It's so awkward taking pictures. Thank God my photographer is just as big of a dork as me.
*note to self: wear shoes.*

    they are both AWESOME. I made a tova top in the winter, and I love your idea of the lace!

      Hi jen! Yes, it's stretch lace fabric. I got it at Yardage Town, a local fabric shop. :) Ha-ha! Thanks... I crack myself up sometimes!

    Yours is sooooo very pretty! That is the first Nani Iro print that I fell in love with. I like the sexy lace back on you--I might attempt it myself, probably a year or 2 from now when I actually get around to it!

      Me too!!! The lace one is my "when I'm feelin' skinny" top. Goes great with my "I'm feelin' skinny" jeans! ;) HA! I'll check back with you in about 2 years...

      I HAVE to use every inch of that nano IRO fabric... it's too yummy to let it go to waste. I know... pretty soon we'll be heading into cooler "Wiksten" weather. YAY! You gotta try the lace!

      I feel so ridiculous whenever I take photos of myself. Seriously... someone's gotta do a post on posing, cause I need to be edu-ma-cated!

    So gorgeous Venus! I love that Nani Iro fabric - made a 3y top in it a few weeks ago. And you're such a pretty lady - you should post selfish sewing pics lore often!

    These are both SO gorgeous, Venus! I love the Nani Iro fabric on you but agree the tunic length on the lace one looks really great/is more figure flattering. Can't waste that Nani Iro though!
