I needed a break from my designs recently and I love playing with store patterns so I made myself this cool dress. For those of you who sew, I used Vogue 1482 (V1482). It was super simple and fun to follow - just took a couple hours. I
made a couple changes too, mainly turning the neckline into a deep plunging V. The v-neck took a much more modest artsy/work attire look to an artsy/happy hour look. It's loungy, it's sexy and it's a bit dressy. More interestingly to me though, is it's a bit different with its shape and diagonal pocket.
The boots were a good answer for this particular dress. I also wore them in a more Wintry ensemble here. I'm excited to try this dress though with a pair of strappy sandals. Ooo, and a body chain.
So, if you sew, give this pattern a try. I had a lot of fun with it and was able to put it on and go. My favoritest thing to do!
Have a simple and easy Monday! See ya back here on Thursday :)
I'll be back to my own designs and tricks.
Fantastic!! I am a bit challenged at my machine at times, but this pattern seems friendly enough!
ReplyDeleteThank you and you are glowing!! Happy Spring to you and your Hubby!
Hey Shon! I think this particular pattern looks flattering on everyone. It'd be fun to do it in a knit or print. I hate being stuck at the machine, that's why I always have to change up what I'm working on. Thanks for the compliment! Happy Spring to you and your fam!
DeleteOOOOMMMMGGGG. This is the business!
ReplyDeleteDeets on the earrings & rings??
Hi Sandy :) Thank you!! I got the earrings from a jewelry table in Melrose Market so I don't have a name I can give! But I got the ring from Kukuly's here in the Garment District. Thanks for commenting!
