Transparency
I love a nice fitting basic tee just like any other girl. I love lacy lingerie. I thought combining both would be practical for me.
I used Black organza, black gridded organza, and nude silk for the lining. Forgive the slight wrinkles, I forgot to steam this before putting it on.
Uniform: Luxirare t-shirt dress, sheer thigh highs from Target, Shoes from Snaz75, Monkey fur Jacket from Ebay and gloves are vintage from Edith and Daha. Bowler hat is vintage.
Construction shots.
I finished the silk lining with a 3/8 inch fold over.
French seams and Organza go together like bread and butter.
I also added triangular embellishments like “teeth” coming down from pockets.
Double layer to compensate for nudity.
Very inspiring. Love the grainy shots. And the stripper shoes.
Sell me the dress. NOW!
oh god i love organza. the levels of transparency, the way the stitching looks against the sheerness, oh my.
this is gorgeous! i especially love the grid organza, a great touch.
Holy shit…Drop. Dead. Amazing.
This is insanely gorgeous! The grid organza is genius and I love the triangular embellishments.
even though i’m late for uni and sitting here with towel on my head – had to comment. The dress is so beautiful, love the first pic with monkey fur and bowler. Also, the gridded organza is amazing
fucking fantastic !
Egads, I love it! Organza is absolutely lovely.

woah woah, that is a great dress, right there.

I knew when I saw this gridded organza that it was the perfect amount of detail to add to a basic t shirt. I guess everyone here thinks its a dress? More like a t-shirt dress depending on height. I meant for it to be a long t – shirt. I hate short things unless its super cropped
Dude this is amazing. I love see through, that piece of yours is amazing. This whole outfit is so so cool, TBQH I think it’s better than most the stuff we see in magazines these days.
where is the jacket from? it is absolutely beautiful – real fur? i think it is my perfect jacket.
beautiful shirt dress and styling with the shoes too.
What is up with your talents? As the kids say…Off the hook.
Speechless.
Almost. You are such a conoisseur and bon viveur. I love it.
i look forward to when you post luxirare originals! this dress if fantastic. especially the grid organza!
um, marry me?
so insanely genius. i don’t even know what to say. it is perfection down to the last stitch.
fantastic fur.

The jacket, yes its Monkey fur from Ebay. I searched long and hard for this piece..it was truly a tough find but alas I’ve found it. It’s surprisingly not warm and it functions more as a jacket.
i second susie. you MUST sell your creations, esp. this. so killer!!
whoa love the tshirt dress!!! i’m on the search for some thigh highs.. looks so great with your creation – so talented!!
um about the hair… i dunno what you’re talking about yours looks perfectly disheveled to me! plus you always have your pristine monkey hair to make up for any birds nests that may be lurking in your own hair… lol.
am i experiencing deja vu or am i confusing this with another awesome luxirare design? the first photo is amazing, love the grainy look- almost like one of those old school peep mags that bettie page used to pose in.
Wow, you have such an amazing blog!
Fabulous!
woah mami.
each time I visit your blog I am completely impressed. you put other fashion blogs to shame.
and I am going to second and third the previous requests for you to sell the shirt. i’ll proudly wear it around town.

What can I say that hasn’t been said.
Hits all the right spots. Something about this reminds me of the nude Margiela bodysuit.
The grid organza is such a great material, I can see the limitless potential of it!
Do you get inspired by the materials? Or do you come up with the form/idea before you look for those materials?
joshua-
Before I start making or looking at anything, I look at the fabric and get swatches from vendors because I get ideas from the fabric itself. I found this gridded fabric and built the whole t shirt around it.
ummm…i’ll take TENNNN.
i would like to pre-order one of everything from your future line that you SHOULD do?! i insist!
amazing!!
u are really a dream.
You’re so talented!!!!
you were right; they do look amazing together .
You are very creative and absolutely talented. This piece is quite amazing. Look forward to more of your creations

Thanks! Really appreciate all the sweet comments.

I don’t mind buying things on ebay or etsy, but for some reason I don’t want to sell stuff on there…
Damn. You need to start your own line or something… I would buy this in a heartbeat, as well as that nude dress with the princess seams you made before.
I love the label design, too.
love the color, shape, gridding..everything about the dress and the outfit. and sweet ass branding too!
wow I loooove it
I dont know how you would feel about this, but I would love to see your twist on a korean traditional dress…
i know you would execute that project with perfection.
Ah yes, the lovely T from senior thesis! I was entranced then, and still am now. I want one!
I’ve been checking your webzine from time to time and am always in love with your imagery and intricate projects. bravo, ji!
p.s. LOVE the little “chelsea” cakes!
