The Coffee Date Dress...

Tis the season for weddings... and the eternal question... What am I going to wear?!!!?
As I was contemplating my options, and catching up on the blogs I read...  I stumbled upon this...
The Coffee Date Dress Sew-Along Linky Party!!!!

Over at Project Sewn...

I read over the details, and realized... wait a minute... I have this pattern! (I found it on BurdaStyle) It's only been sitting in my To Do pile for probably two years.  After I dug it out, feeling very triumphant that I did find it, I decided this would be the perfect dress to wear for the wedding I was attending.
 Since mine was still in a printed out pile... I quickly got to work assembling the pieces...
 And adding my seam allowance...
 It came together quickly... The only change I made... was adding some vintage lace trim...

 Here I am at the wedding... wearing my Coffee Date Dress... and a very serious expression...
 Although... clearly my dress and I had some fun too!!!
Here's how it looks unbelted...

Thank you Ladies at Project Sewn!  You gave me the kick in the butt I needed to make this cute dress... and the satisfaction of getting a project done out of my To Do pile...
Happy Sewing!
