Well, I’ve finally finished sewing my first dress! I chose the Colette Pattern’s Laurel for my first go at dressmaking. The simple shift dress was easy enough for a beginner and still provided a few fun challenges. The thing I’m most proud of on this dress, you can’t even see! It’s an invisible zipper! It […]

I’ve been seeing this trend in the fashion world a lot lately of letting your clothes do the talking, and I have to agree… if you have a lot to say, then why not wear it?? Truthfully, personalizing “ourselves” has been a trend for ages. More than ever, we want to express ourselves, whether it […]
