Highlands Wrap Dress [Maxi] with Indiesew

August 24, 2017 by Tori 6 Comments

This gorgeous dress is the Highlands Wrap Dress by Allie Olson! I was lucky to be one of the testers for the pattern back in March, but since I procrastinated and had to rush, I wasn’t able to make the height adjustments needed. This time, I was in no rush and had time to make … [Read more…]

Lodo Dress

July 25, 2017 by Tori 4 Comments

Did everyone just buy the Lodo Dress by True Bias (also now available at Indiesew!) as soon as it was released?? I totally did, and I was so excited when I saw a few people use this same fabric, just in different colorways. I was pretty set on making this fabric into something else, but … [Read more…]

Ebony Tee with Invisible Zippers [Nursing Friendly]

July 5, 2017 by Tori 3 Comments

I’ve been wanting to make the Ebony Tee Dress by Closet Case Patterns for a while now. It’s a simple swing dress pattern and I know it’s super easy to make any t-shirt or dress a swing dress, but I always feel more comfortable using a pattern for some reason. I love that the Ebony … [Read more…]

Okay. My love for this pattern is no joke, and it doesn’t end here. This is view C of the Panama Tee Dress by Alina Design Co. View C is the maxi length, and it flares out a little bit so that even though it’s long, it’s still easy to walk in. I think next time … [Read more…]

Panama Tee Dress [Half sleeve, view B]

June 15, 2017 by Tori 3 Comments

I am dubbing this my favorite pattern of all time. (Sorry to the rest of the pattern world.) I know I’m not the only one that drools over Sonnet James dresses (linking in case you have no idea what I’m talking about) every time Whitney releases a new collection. The dresses she designs are so simple, comfortable, and … [Read more…]

It’s no surprise that I LOVE this dress. This the Wren from Colette Patterns. I bought the fabric last summer from a shop in the LA Fashion District. I was so excited to finally use it, and it was perfect for this dress! I know wrap dresses are sort of “trending” right now, but I … [Read more…]
