I love a black dress and I had been meaning to sew this one up last year. Finally getting my sewjo back after making my bag I was able to whip up this cute dress. I used Vogue Pattern 9253 one of my favorites and shortened it because I honestly didn’t have enough fabric. It came out so cute and I realized that it is going to be a great transitional garment for all of the seasons.
I paired mine with some chunky heals my large bracelets, a summer hat and of course my new boho leaf print bag.









Hello. I’m JUST finding your IG/blog pages. A woman in one of my FB sewing groups mentioned your sew alongs!! I love this black dress and that bag. I tried to download the pattern but when I clicked on “Download” nothing happened. Is the pattern still available? Thank you so much!!
