Lollapolooza Top



It's officially hot here in Bossier City, La.  Though while it isn't summer yet, we are in the season of pre-summer. It's time to bring out the practical, cool, and comfortable apparel. The Lollapalooza Top by George + Ginger is all of the above!! This breezy top is sure to be one of your favorites this hot, hot spring!




The Lolla Top is an off the shoulder top, which I love, with beautiful accentuated flared gathered sleeves. This off the shoulder top is designed to be one of the most comfortable tops. With 3/8" elastic in the neckline, this shoulder showing top does not slide down, it stays in it's place. I can totally appreciate a  top that I don't have to fight with all day.




The flared gathered sleeve  is just so charming. I'm an adult who would wear ruffles everyday if given the chance.  The gathered sleeves of this peasant style top gives it such a dainty feel. Don't be intimidated by the ruffles, it is really easy to sew.





The Lolla Top is a pattern made for woven fabrics such as quilters cotton. If you're like me, and you don't have a lot of woven fabric, it's time to get creative. I used a twin sized flat sheet to make my stellar blouse. The flat sheet is called Many Moons from Target.com. Reduce, reuse, recycle, right? 




George + Ginger Patterns comes in a variety of sizes from tween 12 to women's 26. The pattern and instructions are easy to understand and also has fabric tips and tricks. Check them out there's something for everyone!


Things I love that are included in the pattern:

*$5 pattern, What a deal!!
*Detailed instructions and photos
*Sizes Tween 12 to Women's 26
*No Trim pages
*Cutting chart and printing options for rectangular pieces
*Layers

Keep Sewing!

Drama Dress

When velvet first came into the fabric lovers world, I was not it's greatest fan. I thought that the fabric was outdated and just ugly. Well I've since changed my mind. When I saw this green stretch velvet I knew it would be the perfect compliment to my  Drama Dress  by G+G. It's such a simple yet sophisticated piece for a cool night out. The Drama Dress has a great draping effect. There are two fit options; slim or full. I went with the slim fitting version. I like that this dress shows off the right curves but is not too tight and revealing. I can still feel glamorous even when I'm not feeling my lightest. With the Drama Dress,  G+G  has given us many options. There are 4 different neckline options; collar, keyhole, bowtie, and basic. I wanted a basic dress so I went with the basic neckline. There are also 4 sleeve choices; long 3/4th, short and sleeveless. I wanted to include some dramatics to the drama so I added 6 inches to the long ...

Gloria Peplum

 I have this weird obsession with showing off my shoulders. They are my best features, to me.  I always favor sleeveless, off the shoulder or cold shoulder tops. The split sleeves of the new  Gloria Peplum  by  5 out of 4 Patterns  are such a unique feature to such a great pattern. I was extremely excited to test the Gloria Peplum pattern. This awesome high/low peplum top presented a fashionable reason to show off my shoulders. The Gloria pattern has so many length options; peplum, short and long skater skirt, peplum, short and long high/low skirt. I was impressed with all of the options that come with the Gloria pattern.

This gives the silhouette of a super dainty figure on all body types. There are so many sleeve options to choose from. The sleeves can be made in the tradi...
