Today’s finished make is THE fancy dress of the year. I’ve had it planned since the end of last year (it’s even part of my somewhat neglected Make 9 list) and started working on it back in May. All that is to say that it’s a dress made for an important day, my little brother’s wedding which was at the beginning of August. I wanted something that was going to be sophisticated with a fitted silhouette and just a little fancy without being completely formal. I’m really pleased with how the dress turned out. It was a super fun wedding and the perfect dress to wear for the event. Now let’s get to the sewing details!
DIY Black Linen Blazer
Every wardrobe needs a classic blazer or two in its arsenal. The blazer can automatically elevate any outfit. Throw it over jeans and t-shirt and you have a fun and polished outfit. The Victoria Blazer by By Hand London just oozes "cool girl" vibe. I really love the design of this blazer and semi-patiently waited for it to become available as a pdf pattern.
