My first work dress!
This is what I wore to work today:
Here's the dress without the cardigan (I did the winter look, plus I get cold all the time):
Here's the dress by itself, pretty much one of the basic options from Simplicity 2724:
Ta-da!
It was fun to wear something I made today. I bought some solid color fabrics at JoAnn's on the sale table when it was 50% off the sale price, so I think I paid about $1.50/yard for this navy-ish blue poly textured suiting. I did the black cardi look with it today, but I will wear it with a different style some other day soon! I am still having a lot of fun dressing up every day and looking professional and cute, and always wearing great shoes. ;)
P.S. Don't I look totally different with my hair straight? I haven't straightened it in like a year, but I did it the other day for work and it was fun!
adorable! as always :)

I love how versatile the dress is, plus you look fantastic in it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful outfit!
ReplyDeleteI've just bought this pattern so am excited to see it made up and how you've styled it
Beautiful! I have this exact pattern! You've inspired me!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Funny how many people have that pattern. It is a lot of fun. I'm thinking of adapting it to use as a skirt pattern and only using the skirt part, with a facing at the waist of course...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dress! Good luck at the new job.
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks amazing. Great job!
ReplyDeletecute! you did a great job on it! i still think it's fun to dress up for work everyday and i've been out of school for almost 3 years! it helps when you are in a creative field, everyone dresses creatively!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the great shoes, too!
ReplyDeleteAh it's fab, I plan on making a couple of work dresses soon too and you've inspired me!
ReplyDeleteTotally bella! I made the gathered shirt ruffled front version of this pattern - it was my all time wadder. You've inspired me to try the slimline version.
