Description

I made my first coffee date dress a while ago using the size 32 pattern, it’s too small and too short for me, this time i made a size 34, but have to take it in quite a bit, the length is just perfect tho :)

I absolutely love this pattern, i worn it to a wedding, i can also wear it to work etc, so very versatile!

Material Notes

shantung silk

    I like your style of sewing if it’s possible to say that. Great choice of fabrics and classic models are just what is needed to make a perfect wardrobe.
