Well, at Christmas, I went for dinner with my boyfriend and he brought me to his parents' house. It was a very nice time with his family. I wanted to make sure I looked nice and festive for the occasion. I also wanted to look attractive for my boyfriend but proper for his parents. So, this is what I had envisioned as a Christmas dress.
Of course I would have to tone it down a bit since that is a bit to sultry for Christmas dinner with my potentially future in-laws. So, I chose Vogue 1183:
Anyways, this was a very easy pattern. There was a lot of top stitching and it really made the dress look exquisite and very expensive, although the dress probably cost about $12.00 in total to make. It was also very quick to make. From cutting it out to completion it was about a day and a half of leisurely sewing. I had decided to make it 2 days before the dinner party. So, luckily, it was done on time.
This is how I looked just before my boyfriend picked me up.
I wore a shrug with this dress and also a black belt that I sewed. I think they complimented the dress nicely and made me look appropriate for the occasion. It was a very nice time with my boyfriend and his family on Christmas day.
