The idea from Amely from Erlangen:

A wax print fabric dress

Dear Nyambura, the dresses you made for me are my very favorite- and I would love to have another one in that cut! I've attached a photo of a fabric that I think is beautiful…maybe you can find one like that by chance? Or a similar one? If not – no matter: I am very curious about your fabric suggestions! And also, could you please look for fabric in neon green or neon yellow in your fabric search? If there is something good there, maybe that would be dress number two right then….
Thanks a lot and best regards!
Amely

Dear Amely,

It's so wonderful to hear from you and that you love your dresses!
I'll be very happy to send you photos of what I find, by next week Tuesday.
Thank you so much for your request and have a great day!

Best Regards,
Nyambura.

Dear Nyambura,
this is great! I'm really looking forward to the photos and the fabric selection. Better take a few more photos :). I'm curious!
Many love greetings,
Amely
Nyambura Irungu 03 Feb 2022 4:51 pm
Dear Amely,

Here are photos of what I could find. I didn't get your exact photo but looked for some in the color scheme of the photo you sent.

I'm also very curious to know if you see something you like! 🙂

My best regards,
Nyambura.

Dear Nyambura, thank you so much for the great fabric suggestions! I like the green fabric with the cables and lamps best of all. I would love to have the dress made from that, please!
When you go to buy the fabric, maybe you could look again for fabrics with objects or animals and photograph me another selection, please? Have again attached a few examples of patterns that I like there particularly well... but in principle I am here with the color choice quite open. I also have a curtain project in mind (if there is the perfect fabric for it) - or just a second dress. The green dress is hereby but already fixed ordered!
Thank you so much!!!
Love greetings,
Amely
Nyambura Irungu 10 Feb 2022 6:11 am
Dear Amely,

You are very welcome and I'm glad we have a winning fabric! I'll be sure to get you more photos for your selection soon!

Many Thanks,
Nyambura.

Hello Dear Amely!
I'm back with more photos for you to look through.
Please let me know if you see something you like.

Many Thanks,
Nyambura.

Amely 02 Mar 2022 1:52 pm
(Automatic translation) 02 Mar 2022 1:52 pm: Amely
Dear Nyambura, here I am again at last.... please excuse me! And with two fabrics and orders: first, as I said, I would like a dress in the cut as the chicken dress was - and in the green fabric with the lights.
Also, I would have a second, slightly different dress in the red/blue/green fabric with the leaves (see photo), similar to the orange one in the photos attached. So basically: a bit narrower cut than the other one, with multi-level skirt part and puff sleeves, but they should be much longer, so almost to the elbow. If you have a suggestion for a cut of a dress you've made before, I'm also very happy - it doesn't have to be exactly like the orange one! Dress size would be 42.
Now it can finally start!!! I'm really looking forward to it!
Many love greetings,
Amely
Nyambura Irungu 03 Mar 2022 7:08 pm
Dear Amely,
Welcome back! 🙂
It's good to hear from you and thank you so much for the orders!
I'll be happy to make the second style too!

Kindly let me confirm the availability of the 2nd fabric design before we start because the materials sell really quickly.
Meanwhile for a dress I have made before, I have attached a video showing a sleeveless summer dress.
Please let me know what you think of it.
My kindest regards,
Nyambura.

Dear Nyambura,
thank you very much for the suggestion! The dress is very nice - only I think it does not fit my figure so well, unfortunately. Then maybe we better try it in the style like the orange dress, only with a little longer sleeves, yes? That would be great!!! Now I just hope that the fabric is still available!!!
Love Greetings,
Amely
Nyambura Irungu 08 Mar 2022 8:50 am
Dear Amely,
You are very welcome!
Thank you also for the nice comment on the dress. 🙂
Yes we can make in style of the orange dress with longer sleeves.
So far the material you had picked is still out of stock, but I'll keep checking. Meanwhile, I have some great news on what I found while looking for it!
Please see the attached photo named "horseprint" that is quite like one of the fabric designs you wanted! 🙂

My best regards,
Nyambura.

Amely 08 Mar 2022 1:43 pm
(Automatic translation) 08 Mar 2022 1:43 pm: Amely
Dear Nyambura, that's great! Yes, let's use the horse fabric for the cut of the orange dress then! And the one with the lamps in the old cut.
Then we can start!
It would be great if you could still keep an eye out for the fabric in red-blue-green - then I would take another dress from it, too...
Many love greetings,
Amely
Nyambura Irungu 09 Mar 2022 6:27 am
Fantastic Amely! I'm so happy you like the material!
Will definitely keep an eye out for the red-blue-green one and keep you posted.
Many many thanks again,
Nyambura.

Hi Amely!

Thank you so much for confirming the order!
I'll be back with an update on progress on Thursday!
Have a great day ahead!

Best Regards,
Nyambura

Nyambura Irungu 17 Mar 2022 5:06 pm
Hi Amely!

Just to update that I'm working on the dresses simultaneously and have shared a few photos on progress.

Also, as I was cutting the yellow one, I wanted to confirm if you'd like pockets in it as well?
Please let me know.

Many thanks,
Nyambura.

Amely 19 Mar 2022 8:40 am

Thank you so much for asking, dear Nyambura! Yes, please by all means bags! That would be important to me. Thank you very much and best regards!
Amely
Nyambura Irungu 20 Mar 2022 12:58 pm
You are very welcome dear Amely 🙂
I shall do just that.

Another clarification for the yellow dress,
The dress size you gave, of 42, would mean your bust size is about 97cm, waist: 82cm and hips 102cm.

Kindly confirm if those are the right measurements, because the waist of the dress in your photo, seems to be about 95cm.

Many thanks,
Nyambura.

Amely 24 Mar 2022 2:13 pm
(Automatic translation) 24 Mar 2022 2:13 pm: Amely
Dear Nyambura, thank you so much for asking. In that case my. Measures actually larger, namely:
Bust 105, waist 95cm, hips 110cm. The dress may sit quiet a little loose. Thank you very much and best regards,
Amely
Nyambura Irungu 25 Mar 2022 6:00 pm
Dear Amely, phew! I'm also glad I asked😅.
Thanks for the measurements.
Also some more good news, I finally found the red blue green fabric!

Which design did you want it done in?

Best Regards,
Nyambura.

Amely 26 Mar 2022 12:14 am
(Automatic translation) 26 Mar 2022 12:14 am: Amely
Oh that's great, thank you so much! I'm so glad you still found the fabric. I would take it in the cut of the orange dress, please!
Many greetings,
Amely
Nyambura Irungu 26 Mar 2022 4:33 am
Aha, fantastic! Thank you.
I'll get to working on them and get back to you on Tuesday with progress dear Amely.

My best regards,
Nyambura.
