Style Chat : True Romance with Mel

Part of my stay-home-Mum/work from home seamstress lifestyle means I don’t want a wardrobe full of special occasion pieces that never get worn.

Because lets face it, I don’t get out as much as I would like to (thanks kids!).But I still love the odd date night with hubby or catch up with the girls.

So everything I make gets the “sneakers or heels” test. Can I wear it with sneakers and look fab for my mum-days and can the same thing work in heels for a night out?

And the results for the True Romance are heck yes! Even paired with a basic tube skirt can have me from cool mum-on-the-run to date night with a quick shoe change.

And check out that beautiful blousing and banded finish. My muffin top tummy is nowhere in sight. Thanks Tall Hipster length!

I would have to say though that my favourite outfit is a True Romance, Heartlight Skirt combo.

It seriously just makes me feel so fabulously chic, no matter where I wear it.

Worn here with my heeled ankle boots for a dressy casual look. 

Both tops were made using a fluid poly elastane knit  that drapes beautifully on the body and swishes over my skin without being clingy.

Already a much loved addition to my wardrobe!

The True Romance Bishop Sleeve Top pattern is out on Tuesday 10th July, 7.30pm AEST. Visit the Pattern Emporium Facebook Group for more details about this pattern.
