Made by Laura!

It's been a while since I posted. I've been sewing, helping my kindergartener with virtual school, and living, which just hasn't left me with a lot of time for blogging! Life happens!  But... I've kind of missed writing, and I decided that now was the perfect time to make a new post. I had the opportunity to sew a pattern I really liked, and I got excited enough to find the motivation to write about it! 😉 **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate link to the pattern used in this post.

I love their patterns for a few reasons. I've posted before that I have kind of broad shoulders and on with some designers I have to adjust patterns to fit them. There are a couple of designers that seem to fit me well with no adjustments to the pattern pieces and this is one of them. I...

A couple of weeks ago, Kate posted a tester call for this top. This didn't even look like something I would normally wear, but for some reason, after thinking about it for a couple of minutes, I decided I wanted to try it! **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate link to this pattern in this blog post.

There are a few length options. The flared option can be made hemmed or banded for a fun blousy look. There are multiple sleeve lengths. And, after making the two different options, I can promise you that it took me longer to put the pattern together ...

And, I do. 😉 I originally planned to make two - one of the fitted and one fit and flare. But I somehow have two fit and flare dresses and am still planning to make the fitted one!  It is such a classic style! I want several for every day next summer! 💓 The Pattern : As you've probably gathered, there are two big options for this dress- the fitted or the fit and flare. The fitted version can be made with a straight hem or with a flounce hem.The fit and flare has multiple length options- everything...
