Glitz & Glamour at the RCCGNA YASM Convention

* Hi there. I missed last week's post and I'm sorry. I have a good reason though and I hope 2 posts this week will make up for it. :)

July 23rd to July 25th was the 7th annual RCCGNA YASM convention (Redeemed Christian Church of God, North America Young Adults and Singles Ministry). I decided I wanted to make my dress for the Black Tie dinner and I picked a pattern from McCall's that was described as 'Easy' because I wasn't sure how much time I would have. I started working on the dress and a week to the event, decided to go in a different direction. So I ended up with 1.75 outfits. My best friend and my sister picked this dress so I hurried to finish it with 1 day to go (that's why I missed my post-days: Wednesday/Thursday). :)

I like how it turned out but I wish I made it longer and maybe eliminated the waist seam. Hmm ...
Next time.

(Zi also made her own dress ... I'll save that for next week perhaps. Or you can go to Facebook or Instagram at the end of this week to see it.)

ZiChiE Designs at WU-BSU Fashion Show

* Zi received an invitation to show ZiChiE Designs pieces at a fashion show held by the Widener University Black Student Union on Saturday, April 11th. To be honest, I wasn't sure we had enough to show but lo and behold, we had more outfits than there were models. :)
** Zi took the designer walk at the end and I was the amateur cameraman who took this video. Perhaps I'll be able to get the official video at some point :)

NOTE: Full video was too big to upload so give me some time as I create clips from it and upload. Thank You :)
