Summer is coming, temperatures are rising, the sewing machine is buzzing with excitement at the thought of making new pieces... And for the luckiest among us, wedding season is open!

The pleasure of imagining your outfit, your accessories, your beauty, and if you also arrive among the guests in a hand-sewn light outfit, believe me, success is guaranteed!

Whether you like beautiful materials, clean cuts, perfect outfits for dancing or in the bride's BBF team, here is a review of the perfect silhouettes to go to a wedding: sewing patterns, pretty fabrics, selection of wonders to accessorize everything, here we go for the review of ceremonial outfits with models that will appeal to both beginner seamstresses and sewing experts.

We have also selected the perfect sewing patterns and fabrics for ultra chic sewing here .

The queen cousin of the dance floor

As soon as the sun goes down, you can't help but run to the dance floor? Bet on the Cuba Libre dress , with its airy volume and swirling skirt. Less dressed up than classic dresses for ceremonies, more bohemian, it's THE dress for your summer! Its V-neckline is very feminine, and the version with the large back neckline will definitely make the temperature of the evening rise.

Sewn in our beautiful Solaris Ultra Orange print , Cuba Libre has a sparkling and elegant look. With precious gold flat sandals, and a pretty, refined bangle, you will be irresistible!

The fashion guest with a sharp style

If dresses are clearly not your thing, the shorts suit will be the ideal outfit: a beautiful shouldered blazer and a structured playsuit, sewn in a plain fabric with a strong character, a bold choice that suits you.

The pattern for the Mimosa jacket and the Cosmopolitan playsuit form a modern and comfortable duo. The jacket has a beautiful straight cut, a falsely nonchalant shawl collar and the perfect length. In the Jaune Sulfure playsuit, you will have a crazy look, ready to set the dance floor on fire!

Give your outfit an extra touch of elegance by pairing it with very “couture” sandals with a worked cut and a designer jewel.

A chic dress or nothing

There are dresses that are a real statement, you put them on and something happens. The Bonnie cape dress has a real signature with its cape with perfect proportions. This pretty dress pattern also stands out with its very pretty back neckline (bra compatible), and the cutting work of the cape frees the hands and makes it very comfortable to wear (hop hop we grab a coupette without any hassle). Accessorized with jeweled sandals and a bracelet that will not go unnoticed when your arms are revealed, sewn in a color block fabric, it has a crazy look.

If I also tell you that this pattern is accessible to beginner seamstresses, that it sews super quickly, that it is available in PDF format and that its video tutorial will be online next week, I believe that the beautiful Bonnie will become the it-dress of the summer.

Lover of beautiful materials

For you, the fabric will be the star asset of your outfit. You like clean cuts that give pride of place to pretty fabrics. The Transat dress , easy to sew and with just the right amount of sexy attitude, will lend itself perfectly to the exercise of maxi wow sewing associated with a remarkable fabric.

For a perfect guest outfit, combine it with precious touches that also play the game of no-nonsense elegance: a beautiful mesh necklace, golden sandals... It is with a very sought-after simplicity that you will make your entrance ;)

The Bridesmaids Gang

Either we are in a group of sewing girlfriends, or there is one who devotes herself and takes out her sewing machine. You are going to be in all the photos, alone or in a group, you need THE outfit that you will be proud to see again in the albums! The Haut Vol dress has everything you need to meet your requirements, sewn in a beautiful plain fabric with a vibrant color. It has the perfect length, the very pretty detail of the neckline, and just the right amount of comfort to run around making sure backstage that the bride lacks nothing, then always party impeccable.

Your mission for the day is to be both in monitoring the smooth running of events, while keeping a look that hits the mark, I recommend a pretty pair of flat sandals, and earrings full of character to spice it all up.
