I made the probably unwise decision to sew my dress for officiating my best friend's wedding because I couldn't find any options that worked for the colors, formality, and climate (very tropical! Very humid!) of the big day. So even though I only learned how to sew this year, this pattern and the accompanying videos meant that my dress turned out perfectly for what I needed!
Add in a batik sash and the groom's reject boutonniere and it was perfect for the event. I can't wait to make the other patterns in this bundle and I'm very glad I invested in ordering all of them!
