Hey Lovies….Happy Monday! Back to work we go. I hope you had a fabulous weekend. I made this dress sometime back using the Tracy Reese Vogue 1314 pattern. Way back when I had troubles sewing a stitch in a straight line. Oh….how far we’ve come. LOL. It is one of those patterns that I use as a template for other dress projects. It’s easy, breezy and mindless. I decided to keep the fit a little less fitted so that I could also wear it to work (I’m a healthcare IT professional by day). I’m a huge fan of the midi length—it adds an effortless touch of sophistication. I also altered the neckline to a modified boat-neck. I also omitted the ruching that the pattern called for. I can’t really remember where I purchased this luxe modal jersey fabric—maybe ebay.

Sometimes I forget that I have dresses in my closet. I’m so use to separates. I’m going to make a cognitive effort to start incorporating more dresses in my OOTD posts. Pinky promise. Until next time lovies. . . . . Peace, Love & Blessings!
Nice dress, great job. I love the pattern and I agree, midiskirts are so sophisticated.

Thanks Sarah!
I love the pattern and necklace, too! Great job!
Hey there….Thanks lady!
I'm such a dress girl. I'm still trying to dig deeper into being able to quickly pull together a separates outfit. I can do it but it takes me more than a minute and I usually tear up my closet. LOL
I like that dress you made, love the pattern and the styling! That's a perfect dress to me.

Thanks Pam. You are so right…separates does take a little more work to pull together. I think that's why I like it….I'm always up for a challenge. LOL.
You have convinced me to reinvest in a new sewing machine for sure love the dress!!! Great share 🙂
Yes Mari….let's get to it. Thanks for visiting doll.
I love the print of this dress. Maybe because I'm a purple lover. You look really nice.
