Yay for ideas!!  (I actually considered making a high-heeled shoe before settling on an eye...so I think one would look awesome!)
Have fun making yours!

Thanks Shahein! Sure this could be a great, edgy daytime shirt - and you could only do a few buttons to make it more minimalist, or sew around them to make a design...the sky's the limit!
As for your question re: dresses for your body type...you're the 3rd person who has asked me that this week!  I answered another similar question in last week's post...I think it's not that your body type requires something to be custom-made...you just have to choose certain silhouettes and employ styling tricks to balance your figure out.  (So you can most certainly buy off the rack...or make it yourself if you so choose.)  You'd probably want to stay away from A-line dresses or dresses that fall straight down from your shoulders, and you could do a gathered dirndl or circle skirt paired with a cropped loose tee (not something tucked in).  Wide, elasticized belts will probably not be a good choice as you will be adding width to your widest part.  Here was my answer to the other reader as well:

For sack-shaped dresses I'd recommend maybe adding a piece of elastic at the waist to bring it in, and then converting the skirt part to elasticized shorts (little bubble-shorts, if you will).  Straight shorts I would worry would emphasize the difference in proportion between your legs and your midsection; by echoing the "blouson" style of the top created by the elasticized waist I think it would help even you out.  Another silhouette you might try is a corseted or very structured, tight-fitting midsection with a tulip skirt or full skirt that stands away from your body.  (No gathering at the waist so we're not adding bulk to your midsection!) This could be a very cute, fashion-forward look - think strapless, structured pieces, tube tops, corset-style, vertical seaming for your top half and voluminous shapes for your bottom.  (Peplums are really popular lately and they might also be something to try!)
In that vein, there are a variety of tutorials both here on Threadbanger, patterns on Burdastyle, and other how-tos elsewhere on the internet (if you Google it) to source items that can help style your figure in the best way possible.  Hope that helps!

Thanks soo much Carly. It`s true if I look for clothes with a certain silloet then it`ll all work out. I have a Polyvore Account and had people answer a similar question I asked you and they cam up with half of the same suggestions you said. I have a 80`s Cali-laid back yet put together Asian style. so the cropped shirts,vertical seaming for your top half and voluminous shapes for your bottom. now I`ll be looking for clothes that make my bottom and upper half balanced. Thought I will try this shirt most likely v-necked or cropped because of the style. thanks soo much for answering my question.

Hi Grace!  Sorry about that...
The photos of the shirts were from the Maison Martin Margiela website - they're in the Spring/Summer 2008 Artisanal Collection here:

Sorry about that!

No problem! I love these posts, and I am seriously enjoying your other blog!

Hi Chloeeeee!  Glad to see you over here, too!
Thanks so much for the props...and hope this helps you cut your hu-massive button collection down by using them to embellish stuff!;-)

Thanks Maddie!  It only took me about an hour and a half (and that was documenting the whole process) so it was surprisingly easy.  I know if I added more buttons it would be more "avant-garde," but I figured to just keep it simple.:-)
Please post your version if you end up making one - we'd love to see!
