BYFT
The International Beautiful You Fashion Tour!
Hosted by Mr. Debonair
You'd think I have made an outfit for any occasion...
But I haven't!
BYFT, Interntational Beautiful You Fashion Tour, was my 1st chance to allow others to try on my deisgns.
I have spent so many years of negative and people ridiculing and mocking to try and deny anything talent I have.
I loved seeing others in my designs.
I have a lot to learn yet. with sewing,
I only have myself and my 5 dress forms, Carol, Dieter, Romeo, Juliet, and Alex.
All bodies are different!
What BYFT is all about!
I give up not being crazy.
So!
Yes, I look fat 1st photo. Yes, I hate my high school class and exes want me in coloured contacts again for me to spend $500-1,000 on BYFT and not contacts. New York BYFT February 2023, I started my period that night before the show. Very much retaining water and when around women I bleed fast, or stop, and 2-3 days is normal and by next night done. I am 30 and used to this in my life with no man to sex me and not be like a 8-12 year old where I didn't start bleeding till I was 13 1/2.
2nd photo is me at age 22, after boyfriend for 3 years, riding him hard. Smoking weed daily.
Today I am 30 and now back to my high school weight where I was always fat, and today high schoolers in Colorado are fatter than me, where I am called too skinny and not wanted by guys.

I try to be polite, but him I can not be.
I never had a photogrpahe not get one photo of evryone or everything.
*The my crazy paranoid brain feels he took photo of me with eyes closed, mouth open, to crop a dick into as many seem to do with me and my life that I call villains and I the hero.*

BYFT LA 2023 Models
The models all lined up for the finale practice.
I helpd a couple with the shortest to tallest and look back at the line and say, "not my job."
BYFT LA 2023 Finale
I snuck in to be middle
One fainted during this. Halted everything to just end it.
As far as my input for LA, I have been to the convention center before, LA Anime Expo 2017 as Lara Croft and Chibi Moon, and a Friend. Hudge place, make Denver seem like a store in the mall compared to the department store.
With my experience with modeling since 2016, 1st with John Casablancas Denver
Be nice- I can't The LA models were not professionals at al. So many said no, "I will not wear that." I can respect if htye are under 18 and such, but them saying not my style.
Many lied about their exeprinces and comapines representing., took forever to change!
All had to go to the bathroom and change and I did not get a line up before showtime and nobody went out in the order I had them in, and I did not get any photos or videos of the event personally myself.
Very different from New York, and I blame weed. As a group left for an hour and I started to refit items, and they came back with faces I know what the camera does and you brain thinks you look like.
I met a girl when first arriving that day to the wrong door at the convention Center and go to the correct, we met a third. Put her in a fav dress of mine. She came out to me in fitting with a busted wire and complained. I put safety pins in. Obviously, they had to come out to be re-put in later for showtime. I fixed the busted wire popping out. Other side popped out after New York in my luggage for me to fix at home and make seem uneven in thickness of fabric I stitched around it with wax. After showtime, she did not get the safety pins put in by me piror, I got my dress back with the back ripped off and both wires popped out. (Was it due to everyone staring at me steaming that dress over and over cause of the fabric, my hotel not having an iron for me to press it, to a weird spot to give up steaming it and it left a steam/water spot, she was searching for that dried by then?) I have my own Conair Steamer.
Last and most current BYFT.
NEW YORK 2023 September!
I did record this myself, to use my phone and mash, where I did have to run off and un-bustle my Purple Snowflake again where she only got 3/4 of them. Same time... I try not to be crazy and know what the airport did to that dress. Usually, it is in my carry on, for that time not. Why? IDK. You want to try on, ask. You want to buy, give me your measurements as all refuse to do. I literally washed it, washer and dryer, to pack and what did I find all over it steaming it before show to stop and know someone drug and rubbed it along dirty airport.
Ugh, I look so fat again.
But for being 30 years old, I am fabulous!
That dress id 40% complete.
Can't find same purple.
I wnt to buy a surge years ago for $70, for them to raise to $200 and now over $300 and being removed from stores.
I was so Tired that morning and stressed out many ways right befor on stage.

My New York BYFT *Designer* Promo
I know half my face is dead, has been since the end of 2018.
A BYFT introduction by Mr. Debonair!
Obviously, I can't stand on stage and record myself for my own.
Part One of VVVViolcaousCreations
NEW YORK 2023
Had to run off and un-bustle a dress on a modle
Part Two of VVVViolaceousCreations
NEW YORK 2023
Came back from un-bustling a dress on modle
Unfortunately, at BYFT LA 2023 I was running around so much to help models into stuff I was not able to record a video myself personally. I wish I had a friend who could take time off from work, remember I am 30 and most from school were older than me to have me the youngest and I do not have kids as most of them do, or the one with an attention span of mine to sit and do nothing all day with a phone dying on them. Or more a boyfriend who would stay loyal to me, as I have been single 9 years and know men do not want or like me.
Photos pending for BYFT, LA 2023
*Please note* I am noy always happy with myself either. See me at IMTA LA 2023 in the link (Comming soon)
Flowering
This was the 1st dress I ever made outside of cosplay.
During COVID, I could not cosplay. I found this $8, 2 yard roll, at my local Wal-Mart and felt something. Felt it would make a great dress.
Used my $10 dress form, Carol, I bought on craigslist from an old lady....
Boom!
Made that!
Job at the time, just summer, was 2nd year at to have new management, who disliked me and saw me as her daughter, more than10 years younger than me, and like me the previous year before COVID.
Flowering, was entered into a contest that year of 2020 summer, for me to put money into my book Violet and not pursue my sewing. Then...
Models in my creations!

Gotta start somewhere!

Summer!
Last minute, another model I fitted for, I did not recognize due to my need to full face-to-face conversation and feel bad, to want this top in my line and ask her. She seemed so happy when i asked last min.
@TheShootest - Photographer
Originally made for my mom, to not like how it looked on her. I know may upset, others saying everything I made is for skinny. To not get chance for years to try again.

She was modeling and a designer there too.
Very experinced for such a young age.

Some question why a little girl in an apron, I had a fake kitchenette in the 90s. My fav playtime with my barbies. She wore it regular too. None of the other little girls got photos in my stuff by the photographer uploaded for me to download.

The flip-side, or orginal...
Safeway- 2020
A place I was fired from... long story and the usual of just being hated by all and not how they want me and being 10 years older than most making more because, I always showed up for my shifts. Checking and File maintenence.
Wore this at Safeway end of 2020
Was yelled at once when I wore it flipped to just wear like this. Many got mad when I stopped wearing my starter name-tag shown, to wear the official printed one with my name actually easier to see and not just a label maker sticker.

NCT 127 Concert dresses, short and long!
I made the long first,; didn't like it on myself.
Made a shorter and ran out of time to perfect the shoulder/chest wrap.
To wear my Leopard dress to the NCT 127 Concert in LA October 6th, 2022 at Crypto. My 1st concert was NCT 127 May 3rd, 2019, age of 25, and I started writing the next day by their inspiration. Look how much I have done. NCT 127 are my muses! Everybody needs something to make them smile in this world.

One easy, one not. One said no to a few other designs to insist she wore the leggings cause of length and see through. The other dress had a few passes till a yes.

If I had more of that green fabric I would make a better, bigger, and longer sash.
Zips in front.
So many say I am no sexy to be making stuff saying, "pshh, you don't know sexy!"
"You either have it, or don't"
Multi-use piece that hooks over the chest, hangs as cape, or my fav as a hood for thousands of years was human fashion.
Or Pokémon/anime-like.
I didn't like how it looked on me compared to dress forms. To make the other.
It has a Pocket!
I have my hand fan in it.
Or, for the cell phone lovers and a high school homecoming memory in 2007ish?
These are fun for me!
The 2nd model is in an original dress of mine, and the 1st was made from the bottom of the other. They could attach like puzzle pieces!
I had bought a violin to help with my crazy brain for a lot of stuff to happen and ruin, my rosin went missing, and I made the dress to title Violin instead. I try not to be wasteful to make the halter top. I spent over an hour cutting the floral shape of the dress.

Summer of 2021.
Safeway had forced me on leave of absence, due to panic attack and someone breaking into my house and pissing on my old bed.
I was fired months later after forced on medications again a 2nd time in my life, that I had fear and still do.
*I feel, cause working file maintenance midnight to 10ish a.m. for months... I lost weight. Squats!
Classic black pumps...
Hardest to wear
A stich or two and such additive could change the whole look.
Backside...
Many hate when I show the back.
Sitting... I feel drums and talking slowly under a spot light
Leopard
Yes, leopard print. Many claim Cheeta.
A top Fav dress of mine!
I love my leopard dress, Model 2 is in my original. The photographer there did not notice the two dresses were made slightly different, with the major difference being the buttock shaping. One is fitted and other is loose. I like my original loose, don't have to worry about sitting bare ass on public seating, and gives room to make that booty grow. One dress had bra padding and the other did not.
@TheShootest - Photographer

The original on the left and my 2nd on the right.
All have different likes and opinions of both.

Here is me October 2022, thanks to John Conroy for IMTA 2023 LA
Sunbeam Spot
Of course I feel fat, but not as fat as some of the other shots not shown. I Love being in the sunlight, effects my hair and sometimes ambers my eyes. i do too much sitting to not be happy with my thighs.
At the Bar
Leaning on the bar! At this point, I was asked to be upset about something to start thinking about an old friend who arrived for her shoot just as I changed into this to be in the room with my stuff., unattended.
Lobby
This was first of the 3 shown. I Know I have this dead face often and I am working on it. I wish I had done my full eye make-up by this being my 3rd and last allowed look for the shoot that day.
Mercury
@TheShootest - Photographer
This design... surprise out of my closet!
When In New York.
Had fitted her for the next dress, a last left to do, and liked better on the other woman. Felt bad to bring down this one from my hotel room. Had to search for her and size, for me to hand stich last min the bust and gem.
I would like to put boning in this, But I have never used it, to worry over ruining the dress. Need some practice and resources,
I title this one Mercury, made summer of 2021.
Most seemed to like it with the unhemmed thigh opening. Words were, "for my husband, even in all in white wedding day, boom! Leg! Sexy!" They liked the droopy top too over my showing of it up with boning or wires.
Red Velvet
Real Red Velvet!
She was the busty of all for runway standards and seemed a bit shy to show her girls! I am still learning how to shape designs to others.
She and others were more comfortable crossing he neck strap and allowed, knowing the reveling I like it on myself.
This dress... Started end of Summer 2021 to not finish till January 2023. Stained a lot, even washing 3 times. Real red velvet fabric. Doesn't wrinkle or track lint, but... broke my old machine, to buy the exact same, years ago, due to thickness trying to hem and the center pieces. Has a wire, she was smaller in bust than me, but triple my cup size.
Due to running off stage to un-bustle Purple Snowflake, this was all the footage I have.

type
@TheShootest - Photographer
This dress is hard to fit with some wiring, and then body conscious people. To the left, makes sense cause she was 16. I actually liked her a lot, I feel by my age she will be my exact measurements, with now having a smaller chest and booty. to almost nearly be by height, shoulders, and leg to torso proportions.
Red Jackson and Red Gown
She owned it! Happy I had something in her size, I almost did not bring it. I was making it for my mom, but all body shapes are different to look better on that model and if I had shaped it how I was thinking for my mom, it may not of fit her.
@TheShootest - Photographer
New York 2023
Red Jackson
Had it not fitted for anyone. Saw a group, mostly guys, sitting around to walk up and ask if anyone would want to wear it. Right away I had a volunteer. It was made for my mom, but I used my male dress form, Dieter, to make it. The model right away felt happy to claim being like Michael Jackson.

I bought this for $10 from Macy's downtown LA, Jan 23.
I was told no returns!
I knew cause of the damages.
I seem ripped it, to latter add in my own fabric and such to turn it from a shirt to a dress.
I feel it is great on the ice dancing,
@LegacyPhotosLLC - Photographer
Purple Snowflake!
I am really proud of this dress. Sure, needs some adjustments, but if I cockily asked, "let's see you try to make it," it does have much skill and all bodies are shaped different.
I see it as a wedding gown, if all white.

Elaina
LA 2023
@LegacyPhotosLLC - Photographer
This model gets nearly a perfect rating from me! The only negative is the same issue I have with dead face on runway and photos, but that is okay! She listened to me, I was unable to see the show to see by the photos she did the bridal walk how I showed her for the end of the runway; I was taught by Merril John Casablanca Denver 2016 in my graduation dress, I can still squeeze into, that is a ball gown. Elaina is perfectly scouted, she was taller than me at the age of 12, cute how her mom insisted she wore shorts under the dress, and age 12 is the age most models for runway are to begin. She listened, was fast changing, allowed me to un bustle it, and did the walk how I instructed. Had another dress for her to wear. due to time let someone else wear it. Bravo, Elaina!
@LegacyPhotosLLC - Photographer
Bustled top two or right below of the 3 on my dress form, the rest are un-bustled
"Purple Snowflake"
One of my Fav dresses!
Very current, being winter 2022/2023.
Worked on often when snowing in Northern Colorado for me to not drive Uber.
@LegacyPhotosLLC - Photographer
Me in New york
As I stepped onto the block bench, for first round of photos, I stepped on my dress, being bustled, and back in high school 2007 I did the same with a vampire cape in the lunchroom, to break a hook on the under bustle, and had to unhook the full bustle and leave long. An older couple stopped when I was standing on that block posing to ask me if I was okay. Strange for me and a 1st for the photographer, Mr. Parris, Harris. If I could re-do the past, I would of messed with their heads to claim as fairy tale response and such.
I do have matching shoes for it that I forgot in New York, they also add 2 lbs to my luggage. In LA, I just couldn't carry everything without bringing my whole suitcase and the model was a size 9 for my shoes to be a 7.
I do feel fat to the right, but am to be psotive and say, "pin-up, baby!"
