I love my rompers but I've been a little unsure about the overalls trend until I saw this pattern. They're totally adorable and I have a feeling that they're also super comfy, perfect for casual weekend wear.
How to DIY Tie Strap Overalls
Step 1: Today's inspiration are these overalls from ASOS. The black is super easy to pair with other clothes and will carry you right into Fall/Winter. It's also a little more subtle than a traditional blue denim or the striped fabric used in the pattern's photos (link below). If you're still working on your summer wardrobe, you could start by making a shorts version like this romper from Madewell.
Step 2: The pattern is BurdaStyle Overalls 07/2016 #109. It's a classic design and I love the rounded shape of the front piece and the tie shoulders. Good news for the tall gals out there, this pattern was made just for us!
Step 3: For the fabric, I'd use a lightweight denim like this 6.5oz Robert Kaufman from Fabric Depot. It would also be great in a black linen.
Have you tried the overalls trend yet? Are you going to jump on board?
I love the casual, summery look of a tie-front top. It's a little retro, a little flirty and so fun. This is the perfect kind of top to wear with a skirt or casual pants. It's more polished than a t-shirt but the loose fit makes it comfortable enough to wear all day long. I'd wear this outfit anytime from running errands to meeting up for drinks with friends. Read on to see how I would DIY it.
It's finally gotten cold enough in LA that I need to bundle up. I can almost pretend that it's cold enough to warrant a wool coat. At least when the sun goes down it's cold enough. :) I love the boxy fit and assymmetrical style. And bonus! This is a fairly easy thing for you to make yourself. Read on to see how I would DIY it.
The jumpsuit has been back for a few years now and it seems to have no intention of going away soon. I've been loving the comfort of a knit jumpsuit but I'm intrigued by a fitted woven jumpsuit. It's almost a dress but surprise! you can run around and do all the high kicks you want without worrying that anyone will see your knickers. Totally dressy with an element of unexpected fun. Today, I'm sharing how I would DIY this beauty of a fitted jumpsuit.
Today I have a fun and easy Lou Box Top/Dress hack to share with you – a split hem, color-blocked sweater dress. This dress is made using the cotton sweater knit currently in my shop. When I selected this fabric, I had a vision of this dress and I’m so pleased that it turned out exactly how I envisioned it. There was a moment during the making of it that I thought it was going to be an utter failure but it worked out. phew!
