Sew in Love: Summer Dress

I love to sew and design clothes. Below is a breezy, vintage patterned, summertime dresses that I made. I like to start with a manufactured dress pattern, then modify it and make it my own. After learning how to make ruffles recently, I had to add ruffles to the bust, which added dynamic to an otherwise plain dress. I also added pleats to the waist. The great thing about sewing your own clothes is that you can use whatever fabrics you like and you can be assured that no one else in the world is wearing what you have on!

Pattern: Butterick 5632

Blue Red and White OOTD

I know it may look a little patriotic, but red, white, and blue is another favorite color combo of mine. I tried not to make it look too obvious though. I also included some other big ticket accessories that I would love to have in my wardrobe ensemble.
