I whipped up a cute little dress this weekend! It’s a vintage McCall’s pattern from 1965, purchased on Etsy from this lovely seller.

Coral Garden Skirt: McCalls 5803, Fabric by Dotty Logic
It’s finished! The Coral Garden skirt is finally complete! In case you missed last week’s post, this project is a collaboration with Jasonda Desmond from Dotty Logic.

(Is that the right word? It seems fitting for this labour-intensive project…) So, without further delay, here it is! I [...]
Me-Made-May: Days 1 and 2
Happy Me-Made-May to you all! Day 1: There’s me on the left, wearing my Saturday morning Me-Made outfit. It was my best attempt at Me-Made business casual for my Shop Assistant shift at Dress for Success. The sheer polyester chiffon blouse is from last fall, before I started blogging. It’s from a Simplicity Project Runway [...]
