Do you sew? Is the sheath dress a solid color or pattern?
I made a sheer (voile) jacket to wear with my mother-of-the-bride dress. I used pattern Butterick 5719. I used French seams, and then turned the edges to the outside, pressed an edge under, and topstitched for the hem, sleeve hems, and around the neckline and front opening. I had trouble finding the right fabric for this project, and actually bought it here: https://www.cvlinens.com/
I was extremely happy with the quality and value on the fabric.
My vision was for something sheer and “floaty”, which I achieved, but then didn’t get to wear it, due to the day was SO hot, after having the wedding postponed from May to July.
I used to sew as a teenager (many decades ago),but it’s been so long, I don’t think I’d remember much, plus the machine I used (no longer have it) was very simple to operate.
The sheath dress is a solid color & not really the most appropriate color for a wedding, so after further ‘consideration’, I ordered a dress from Amazon & got it a few days ago - much better color (mauve - my favorite) & I do not need a shrug with it. The dress is a bit “floaty” itself and should be super comfortable - short sleeves (yes, I do have the arms for short sleeves - farm work biceps!) so it will be cool enough, even if the weather is very hot. If it miraculously gets cool (highly unlikely), I have a beautiful silver gray, lightweight pashmina shawl I can use for some warmth. I’m excited about the outfit - inherited some jewelry recently that will look really good with the dress.
Thanks for the info - glad your jacket worked out, even if the wedding day weather didn’t cooperate!
