Sailor Zip Up Commission!

Busy busy time of it at the moment! I feel like my feet don't touch the ground! New job (sort of), visiting family and a commission to work on! I wanted to show you the most recent piece that I've been working on, a commission for a zip up top in my nautical design. I was commissioned for this piece after I replied to a WTB in the Lolita Sales UK group on fb, so you never know what might happen when you reply to posts!

When I approached the client I originally sent her this not very clear photo of the zip up I made for myself a few years back:

She was interested, and asked for more photos:

At this point, I thought she'd ask for pretty much the same top, but then she surprised me by asking for it in black and grey! I had my doubts at first that it may not have the same cute effect as the white and pink top, but once I'd finished making it up, I was very pleasantly surprised:

I absolutely adore the way this turned out! I was actually sad to send it off in the post, haha! I love how elegant this style manages to look in the black and grey, it is a completely different to my white and pink one! The black and grey colour scheme was a genius choice, and not something I'd have every thought of!

I'm considering making another zip up in navy and pale blue next, what do you think?
