I had hoped to participate in The Day and Night Dress Challenge earlier this month where the goal was to make two dresses - one as a day look (coffee) and one as an evening look (cocktails). I decided I wanted to pull this off with just one pattern, and for that I settled on… Continue reading Coffee & Cocktails: One dress – Two ways
Ever since it first came out, I have adored the Lil Luxe Dress. Eventually it went on sale and I decided to snap it up. That was, um, quite some time ago.
