Sewing a Floral Regency Dress
A Regency dress has been on my to-do list for a while. I grabbed the Simplicity S9434 pattern for less than a dollar from JoAnn a few weeks ago during one of their pattern sales. Generally, I prefer to draft my own patterns, but that good of a sale seemed like the perfect excuse to […]
Sewing A Ruffled Petticoat (for under $25)
First, let’s start off with the obvious: if you count the time it’ll take you to sew a petticoat with tremendous gathering and ruffles and rolled hems, your time investment is going to bring the cost at least a few hundred dollars. As someone who always wants to DIY everything, I feel like that’s important […]
Floral Style in Decatur Square
It’s no secret that I’m in love with flowers in any shape or form. The more florals I can incorporate into my daily life, the better.

This black blouse and gold leaf earrings combo showed up on my Instagram several weeks back, and I’ve been meaning to write up a post about it ever since, because I really loved the way the pictures came out! I’ve been a huge fan of the all-black or mostly-black ensemble forever (and it still reminds […]

The Perfect Flowy Maxi Dress for Any Season
