Sew-a-bration of Womanhood Day 8

If you’re looking for the giveaway and link-up parties for our Sew-a-bration of Womanhood you can find them here.

Today I’m excited to link you to Brianne of Ali Cat & Co. I saw previews of what she made recently and I really am looking forward to reading the whole post! But first we gave all of the contributors a general questionnaire and here are a few of Brianne’s responses:

Age: 29

Body Type: 5’6″, 120lbs, knuckle dragger and chicken legs, teenaged boy curves

If I had to choose a sewing anthem for my outfit: Peggy Lee’s Fever

I had to attend a silver and gold cocktail party a week ago. I had nothing silver or gold in the closet. GASP! I adore Mouse House Creations’ Caroline Party Dress. It was the perfect pattern choice for the cocktail party and for this Sew-a-bration of Womanhood series!

I wanted this dress to be sexy yet sophisticated. I’m not a young 20’s girl anymore; I can’t get away with just sexy and no sophistication. For this dress, I chose a cotton lining hemmed on the short side paired with a slightly above the knee sheer black overlay with silver sequin embroidery. The bodice is black satin with cotton lining. After getting all dolled up, I ‘modeled’ <insert chuckle; I’m no model> for my fabulous husband. He raised his eye brows and said “that’s short!”. Yes, indeed! But as Peggy Lee sings “Chicks were born to give you fever”!
