From high fashion runways to everyday street style, vests are proving they’re the ultimate wardrobe show piece. Whether you pair it with a top or on it's own it looks amazing.

The Rian Blouse by Designer Stitch


Have you seen the stunning new Rian Blouse from Designer Stitch? It’s absolutely adorable and packed with charming details that make it a must-have for any wardrobe. This versatile blouse comes in two sleeve lengths, short sleeves for a breezy, casual look or long sleeves for a more polished, elegant style. What really makes it special are the delicate lace accents and elegant pintuck detailing, which add a touch of sophistication and femininity to the design.

I sewed mine using a soft cotton poplin, and I’m obsessed with how it turned out, the fabric drapes beautifully and gives the blouse a crisp, structured finish while still being comfortable to wear. Whether dressed up with a skirt for a special occasion or paired with jeans for a chic everyday look, the Rian Blouse is a perfect blend of style and versatility. Have you tried making one yet? What fabric would you choose?

The Lilith Dress by Stitch Witch Patterns


Super happy with my Lilith Dress, made in this beautiful Liddington floral vintage cotton. I don't often win competitions so it was a nice surprise winning the Lilith Dress Pattern by Stitch Witch Patterns on Instagram. I had in mind witch fabric I'd use and am already planning my next dress.

Love the princess seams and wonderful semi-backless neckline with tie! I added my zip on the outside as it has a cute scalloped edge.

Its the weather for shirt dresses and this lovely embroidered pineapple pinstripe cotton, just had to be made into a shirt.
