Happy launch day #DavenportDress aka the 80s-picnic-bitch-in-the-prairies dress of my dreams. It’s got everything: ruffles, a drawstring waist, ruffles, lots of enclosed seams so finishing is a breeze, and ruffles! Perfect for frolicking in a field, lounging on the couch and watching Survivor, and picnicking like a champ 🧺💖

I was legit honored when I got the email asking me if I’d be a tester for this pattern because I love Friday Pattern Company, and I love dresses! This pattern was fun to make, and even more fun to wear, and has already been made part of my regular rotation

Dress: #DavenportDress by @FridayPatternCompany available to purchase today! I used a gorgeous gingham linen from @MerchantAndMills that is a fun neon yellow to play up the 80s vibes.

Got the new @girlfriend dress, immediately was feeling it and had to get photographic evidence.

Sunglasses: @FatFancy I am utterly obsessed and cannot wait to wear them out and about during my picnic bitch picnics
Dress: Girlfriend Collective, I got size XXXL and it fits pretty well! A little loosey-goosey at the bust, but honestly after a year of minimal supportive bras I’m used to it (although I’ll probably double up for walks because my dog can really get going and I’d hate for a boob to fly free around Youths™️)
Earrings: @ElysianTheory_ snagged during the warehouse sale, I’m in love
Disco ball: my fave 20” babe from @LibbyLivingColorfully

Bonus video of me dancing to come, I just didn’t want to ruin the ✨aesthetic ✨ of square images (mostly because I didn’t think it through when I took the pics whoops)

Didn’t post this on the day of, but I got my first vaccine shot on Friday! I was secretly hoping I’d get the Dolly one, and I did hell yeah!!

I had been planning on wearing my poofy dress, but completely forgot about that plan when I wore it earlier this week, so I kind of had to scramble. Ended up with this mess of pattern mixing (and I think it works?). Definitely showed me some gaps in my wardrobe to fill!

Shirt: #OgdenCami by @TrueBias in a beautiful @LadyMcElroyFabrics from @MinervaDotCom #MinervaMakes
Skirt: @Madewell from a few years ago
Jacket: Almost finished (that dang hem and buttons) #IlfordJacket by @FridayPatternCompany in a beautiful double gauze from @StonemountainFabric #StonemountainFabric

Happy day one of the #FridaySewtacular ! I swear this isn’t because it’s hosted by @FridayPatternCompany but my plan for the week is to make a lined boxy sleeve long length #IlfordJacket with a #FibreMoodHoney collar to replicate a jacket I saw on pinterest and fell in love with (I’ll post it in my stories).

Lining fabric: a lavender silky blend from Joann’s
Main fabric: Japanese Double Gauze from @StonemountainFabric and there’s still 3.75 yds left!! #StonemountainFabric
