Description

Elainemay’s coffee date dress in dark green. I’m 5’9’’ and needed it a bit longer, so I added a waistband and then sewed a mint green ribbon onto that for a bit of contrast. I left off the ruffle so the dress was a bit simpler. It’s such a simple pattern – I’ll definitely be trying it again, with the ruffle next time!

Thanks elainemay :)

Material Notes

Forest green polycotton, 20'' zipper, mint green satin ribbon

    I generally am not a fan of green colour in clothing, but your dress looks so fabulous and the green really suits you!!!

    This is so chic and the green is ideal for this time of year – you could wear a wrap or shrug to keep you cozy !

    It is a pattern posted here on Burdastyle by Elainemay. Very beautiful dress. It is availablemin multisizes too. Yay! I still have to do mine. Now I think I’m going to add sleeves. It’s cold now.

      Hi, thanks! It’s a pattern called the Coffee Date Dress – sorry I tried to link to the pattern originally but for some reason Burdastyle wouldn’t let me. Should be sorted now!
