Happy Monday friends...I hope you all had a great weekend and your week ahead is looking bright!
I'm super excited to share another sewing project with you. This was a very simple column pattern with an elastic inserted in the high waist for shaping. The pattern called for a knit but I'm not ready for stretchy yet so I took a chance and decided to go with this navy printed rayon. It came out pretty preppy so I tried to boho it up a bit with a chunky wood necklace, mustard cardi and espresso tights. I love the shape so I think I'm going to do a repeat on this on with some other fun fabric - maybe with a shorter lenght? More like a tunic to wear with leggings.

Have a lovely week!
Cute! You should look at English brand Boden - their stuff is really similar to your style xxx

We're keep it simple in our family too for Christmas. I am hoping to handmake some presents, for sure.
ReplyDeleteI love this dress! I am so impressed with your sewing skills (Mine are pretty minimal!). It turned out so fabulously, looking forward to seeing your next version in another print/colour!
You know I'm a big fan of mustard and blue! I love the print of your dress and the addition of tights and warm browns. This is a perfect autumn outfit.
