I recently attended the wedding of a close friend in New Zealand. If you aren't aware, early August in New Zealand is COLD!
Cue a lot of googling on what to wear to an (outdoor) winter wedding :) I even made a pinterest board of ideas
I also took inspiration from my #SewStyleHero as part of the theme month that was running via The Sewcialists. You can read about that here.
Here is what I came up with:
I used a heavy stretch navy sequin (Pitt Trading) for the skirt...
...and a soft silvery beige colour stretch velvet (from Tessuti) for the top.
The skirt was self-drafted and designed to be as full and sequiny glorious as the amount of fabric i had would allow. I will probably cut off the skirt now to make it more wearable in everyday life, though I loved the effect for a fabulous winter wedding.
The top is the Seamwork Astoria and was a bit of a revelation.
This was my second Seamwork pattern and I really liked it. I know it's trendy at the moment to dislike Colette / Seamwork but I really don't understand why (aside from a few drafting mistakes a few year's ago). I think they are great and have resolved to try out more of their patterns.
So that's the winter wedding sorted!
Ciao for now!
