I can't get enough of Jumpsuits these days!

Be Fabulous, Be Brave, Be Bold but most of all BE YOURSELF!

So In love with Jumpsuits! Have you ever made something that felt and looked so good that you wanted one in every color?  Well that’s what happened over the weekend when I completed this tan Dolman sleeve wide leg jumpsuit. Comfort is a must for me and this jumpsuit definitely meets my expectations with regard to how a garment should fit, feel and look when you’re done.

Does this always happen when I sew my own garments? No it doesn't! There have been plenty of projects that didn't quite transfer from the idea in my head to the actual production of the garment.  I simply fix it when I can and alter my methods when I can’t.  The key is to keep at it because success is on the horizon!  The thing I love about this particular jumpsuit is it can be styled in several different ways to accommodate your schedule of activities and/or mood for the day.  With the simple switch of your shoes, handbag and a couple of accessories you can transition from a casual day look to a more chic evening look with very little fuss. 

For today’s blog post I decided to display pictures of the jumper styled with a par of flat sandals and a fitted heel to give you an idea of the versatility of this garment. While I didn't change the handbag or accessories for these pics I’m sure you get the idea.  I hope you enjoy the photos and please feel free to post any questions you may have in the comments section below.  Have a great day and remember to GO GET IT!

 Dolman sleeve top self drafted from basic sleeve & bodice block and pants using Butterick 4807! There are several Dolman sleeve commercial patterns out there (Burda 7678 is one) that will work I simply wanted  to try this particular drafting method I reviewed to see how it would turn out. 

Switched to high heel!

The only thing I would change would be to make it a little longer for heels!
