I was so excited when I purchased Colette Pattern's Macaron dress pattern back in April, so it's sad that I only just now got around to completing my first dress from this pattern.The fabric selection was inspired by Sibeli's Macaron dress and by inspired I mean to say that I was a total copycat. Sibeli's dress has been in my favorites on BurdaStyle for quite some time and I finally decided I needed a dress like that for myself.
I got really into this project and completed it in record time. It felt good and relaxing to dive right in and get lost in my sewing. The pattern is also very well written and easy to follow which made the work just that much easier and more enjoyable.
My Macaron is made from cotton for the shell and the contrasting fabric is silk organza.
Now I just need to find an occasion to wear my new favorite dress!
I hope you like it as much as I do!
Really cute! Love the sheer top part.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! This is such a gorgeous pattern, and your version is beautiful. The kind of dress you create an occasion for ;)
ReplyDeleteI love it! Great idea with the sheer top. I might have to make a second one, a 'night' version.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I think this is the greatest version of this dress pattern I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot, it's very cute!
