Dress one was a white lace version of Simplicity 2584. I whipped this one up Friday night before we left home and wore it on Sunday - the last possible day to wear white! (I was determined!) I paired it with a black cardigan and black patent ballet flats to "fall" the outfit up a bit. This one got a fair bit of exposure. It was our first full day in Michigan and we went out to breakfast, did some sightseeing, a bit of wine tasting, and even went on an impromptu 2.5 mile walk around a local park! (Unfortunately, I didn't think to snap a picture until midway through said walk. Not my best shot.)
The next day, Labor Day, I wore my new blue herringbone version of Simplicity 2246 for a small cookout and some much needed relaxing. I forgot to grab a picture of this one but I promise I really did. Cross my heart and kiss my elbow! (Love that line!) Of course, I'm sure you all believe me :)
I received compliments on both dresses, which is always encouraging! Now, to whip up some more to wear in the coming weeks!
What outfits are wearing this month? x
I can't believe that you are sewing as you go for Self Stitched September - you're crazy (in a good way). The white dress is cute - I love the lace. Looking forward to what you come up with for the rest of the month!
ReplyDeleteThanks @Annabelle, for your compliment! You're always so sweet!
ReplyDeleteCrazy is one word for my plan ;) We'll have to see how well that plan works. Since I'm really on my first year of serious sewing, I just don't have any fall options yet. Hence the final sundress sneaking in. :) Hopefully, I can throw together at least one a week... Oh goodness...
