This is my second time participating int he The Day and Night Dress Challenge. I was particularly happy about it being about Coffee and Cocktails as I love the both. Elizabeth of Elizabethmadethis is the gracious host who is such an amazing sewist.
For my coffee look, I chose Burda 8072 in a lightweight linen. I loved that pattern had such a vintage feel to it, and I love anything vintage. This dress was very easy to make and I didn't need to make any modifications. I know I will get a lot of wear out of it. It comes highly recommended.
For my Cocktail look, I used McCalls M7722 in a awesome textured knit from Stylishfabric.com. I was so impressed with the quality of the knit. It was so soft to the touch and flows amazingly.
I decided to make my Cocktail dress with a little asymmetrical details. I omitted and only did a peakaboo sleeve on one arm "View B". I also added a flounce at the hem for a little zip. I thought it came out very very lovely.
Happy Sewing!
