Bird Print Dress & Bag

I fell in love with this swallow print fabric... Who can resist a chic bird print?!

I decided to make a dress to wear to the spring fashion show that I went with people from work. I had never been to a fashion show before, it was fun! 

Fabric: Fabricland

Pattern: Simplicity 1873 Cynthia Rowley Collection

 
 

I used view C and made some change to both front and back neckline, omitted the tabs, gathered a skirt, added in-seam pockets, and made some minor fitting adjustments. 


It was my first time attending to a fashion show, and I was trying to figure out how I should style this dress that is “fashion show appropriate”.

And so, I ended up making a matching clutch bag! It’s a simple rectangular with a small gusset.

 
 

I made a white tassel charm too, which I love!

 
 

Does everyone get excited about matching items as much as I do?!
