Hi Darlings!
If you follow me on Instagram you know I made this DIY dress several weeks ago but I only just wore it during Hispanicize 14' in Miami. It was such an easy modification to an existing Burda pattern so I made a quick sew along tutorial. The flared option for the pattern us super cute but it wasn't what I was going for.
Here I am with another talented blogger Gypsy In The City at the Positive Impact awards.
and here I am taking a #selfie with Edward James Olmos
Beautiful!!!!
