Friends, this will be the last time I talk about patterns....at least this week.
I just bought a pattern. A completely impractical, unusable pattern. Those tricksters at Vogue patterns knew what they were doing when they sent me an email with the Pattern of the Week. They know how my heart leaps at the sight of lace and skirts and tales of happily ever after.
When I opened my weekly newsletter, it was like rainbows and unicorns and sunsets and the smell of lilacs on a hot summer day. It was the stuff dreams are made of...
I know, right? It's a wedding knock off pattern, which is totally fine by me! Because that wedding dress was a stunner, and I am not the only one who thought so.
I had absolutely no reason to buy this pattern. I'm not getting married, and even if I did, I'm not nearly as awesome a seamstress as Suzannah from Adventures in Dressmaking (who is making her own wedding dress and the process is AMAZING).
I just looked at it, and like a completely impractical pair of black strappy stilettos, I had to have it. It even cost me the same as said stilettos - $4.99. (I know, right? I pay more for lunch most days.) Now you want one too, don't you?
I'm thinking that if I ever did make this, I would shorten the skirt and make it in red. Red screams passion and a night out on the town with wine glass in hand. White wine, of course, because I don't want to clash with my dress. And not champagne, because I am just wrecked the next day. (All those little bubbles = worst. hangover. ever.) So, we'll go with Muscat. Yes, me in this fabulous red dress, wine glass in hand...
*sigh*
Have you ever bought a completely impractical pattern? I have a feeling this may sit in my stash like a lovely box of caramels I got for Christmas...
