The Wedding Guest Edit
Attending a wedding this summer and unsure of what to wear? Look no further! Whether you prefer dresses, jumpsuits, tailoring, or co-ords, we've got you covered with some stylish outfit ideas to help you look your best on the big day. I've gone through everything in detail in the video and linked to all the patterns below.
Dresses:
Dresses are a classic choice for a summer wedding and we've got some of our favorites below.
If you love a wrap dress then check out these three options. They all have a slight twist on the classic shape:
Sometimes we just want a simple shape that you can add some fun accessories to. I particularly love the back of the Ramona dress.
If you love a big sleeve as much as I do then you are in for a treat. All completely different silhouettes depending on what you are looking for.
Gathering is a fun skill to learn and it always creates a dramatic shape. I've got three of my favorite patterns with gathering at their core
Finally we've got your favourite patterns, these are tried and tested favorites from the sewing community
Jumpsuits
A fun option for a wedding, something about jumpsuits that make me feel a bit naughty when you wear them.. like you cheated the system.
I tried to pick three different shapes that would all work well for a wedding
Tailoring
If you prefer a two piece, opt for a tailored blazer and trousers combo. Another fantastic option is to wear a waistcoat with said trousers.
I love wearing a suit to a wedding it's so much much more comfortable. All the pieces can be worn separately. These are three of my favourites
Vikisews Nancy Jacket & Daphna Trousers
Maison Fauve Mimosa jacket and Grand Bain Shorts
Nina Lee Richmond jacket and Portobello trousers
I love the idea of a waistcoat and a pair of trousers, I've got two different options for the trousers, the Style Arc ones, in particular, have lovely detailing so go check them out.
Chic Co-ords
Co-ords are a versatile option for a summer wedding ad also mean you can wear the pieces separately. I've included some patterns that are co-ord sets alongside some mix and match options. Sometimes it's nice to get all your patterns out and see what you have and look at them in a new way.
I love indie designers that offer co-ord sets, so handy to get two patterns that can be wor separately, making then great value for you wardrobe.
Friday Pattern Patterns Saturday Set
I also started making my own co-ord sets which was fun, sometimes it's nice to look at patterns in different ways. You could even do this with patterns to already own.
Bella Love Freddie & Tilly and the Buttons Ramona
Sew Over It Emily & McCalls M7937
Fibre Mood Abina & The Maker's Atelier Maxi
Remember, the most important thing is to feel comfortable and confident in what you wear. Choose an outfit that makes you feel your best so you can enjoy the celebration without any wardrobe worries.
