Finally, I sewed up the Garden Party Dress! I’ve had this dress cut out for what seems like ever, but I finally got it finished. I started working on it during KCW and wasn’t able to finish it with in the week. I used a fun black and white print fabric called Minimalista for the main part of the dress. For the front yoke and waistband I used this fabric from Cotton Couture by Michael Miller. Seriously, I loved making this dress though. I just love Oliver + S patterns, they have such a cult following and for GOOD reason! After a few rough sewing sessions on other projects, it was almost therapeutic sewing this dress. Loved it.
I’m so glad you are blogging!! I’ve been following you on flickr for months (I swear I’m not a creepy stalker) and love to have the details you provide in the blog!! It’s amazing to me how you make everything look so chic, so 2014! There are some Oliver + S patterns that I look at and think, “oh I’ll NEVER make that”, but then you make it and I LOVE IT!! Keep the ideas coming!!
Thank you so much for the kind words!!
