What is a Lace Arm Cap?! Eh-hum...is a term I 'invented' by Kathy myself (*hihih...) or lace arm band ^o^
After my gown selection and sketching, I decided to do something to the SHORT CUTE GOWN I choosed. (Actually EACH gown also I have different IDEA and blue elements for it....^.^)

!! >o< !!
Bridal Fashion magazine~!! Google~!!
Got so many ideas~~ I first got inspired by this---->
A short gown by VALENTINO design!
**chop!**
What I realized is the 2 ribbons at the side -- IS SOOO CUTE!!!
I WANT TO DO THAT TOO \^o^/!!
SO! I went to the net and search....what are those ribbons called?! sleeves? ...nop....off shoulder?...not excatly...ribbons...what ribbons?!...

These are ALL the SLEEVES DESIGN for bridal gown. There are more designs on Necklines, Veil, Trains...will share it out when I talk 'bout it later(*wink ^.<)
I saw the design (I've highlighted) is what I want...It is called Off shoulder pouf 'cap'...SO! This is how the word 'CAP' come from. ^.^v
BUT!! Maybe there is a CORRECT term for it, I'm not sure =p...I not from the Fashion-line...so if someone know, please correct me ^.^v, k?
So I search the key words on the net: Shoulder cap ribbons, bridal gown. SOOOOOOOoo many things came out, but luckily I saw this:

SO! I took out ALLLL my sewing stuff and materials I bought and start my idea. I got all these:

First! I sew the small flower lace on the light blue ribbons as a base. It took me only 2 nights (3 hour each night) to finish the left and right hand. ^.^v After that, only I sew the NICE NICE flower lace on top of the base. I didn't DIRECTLY sew them together...as I still need to adjust the position of the flower and the diameter of my arm, so the lenght of the flower can showoff nicely (*tada!)
Then, I TRY to tie it around my arms....It CAN'T SECURE at my arms if I start moving!! ALERT ALERT...PROBLEM PROBLEM!! Think! Think!! Think!!!
Chenseng was with his laptop, and I'll always sit opposite of him, doin my stuff. He saw wht I was facing. He tried to tie so many ways so that it'll secure, but....we failed...!
I was upset =( He ask me to go to sleep and continue next day. And when I just about to go to bed, I untied my hair...and....
YES!! Why didn't I think of THAT!! RUBBER BAND!!...YUhoooo! I'm a genius! (*hihi...paiseh)
Rubber is ELASTIC! Can stretch and hold! I can't wait till the next morning to go to the sewing shop and buy the rubber band! Yahoooo! ^o^
SO! After 2 more nights (3 hour each night also)...
Here's my MASTER PIECE!! *drum roll, please...*
Kathy's own Shoulder Cap Ribbons~~!! TADA!!

Some Close up shoots on how I did it.. ^.^v .. |
Yup! I'm soooo happy I did it! I'll wear this with my SHORT CUTE GOWN and hopefully it'll bring out some kind of nice 'effects' to me, my gown and of course Chenseng~~ ^.^ Coz I think if I add this on my arm...the thin ribbons will fly,Fly, FLY~ with our movement...*imagining~~
Whatever it is, I REALLY like my creation and hope our pre-wedding picture will turn out nice *^.^*v If you like what I did please tell me =)
The result *love!
The result *love!
