When I got invited to Breakfast at Tiffany’s, my first thought was, “What am I going to wear?” I contemplated for a little bit and collaborated with one of my sponsors to have a dress shipped to me. Unfortunately, the dress came the day of the event, after the event had already ended. Talk about perfect timing, right? 🙂 So the night before the event, I was stressing out but then remembered this really pretty aqua blue fabric I saw at JoAnn’s a week earlier. So I went and bought the fabric, and after I put my two girls to sleep, I sewed like a mad woman. How late did I stay up making the dress? 5 a.m. Yep, 5 a.m people. I wasn’t taking this whole event seriously or anything. 😉 So after 2 hours of sleep, I attended the long-awaited Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Was it worth it? Yes!
The picture below shows more the true color of the dress, a bright pastel aqua blue.
It was super windy when the pictures were being taken, so the skirt part of the dress didn’t look as neat as it usually is. This is how it normally looks.

I want to master you

clothes!! This dress

Thank you for your comment! And I followed the pattern and the pattern wasn't very hard, so I'm sure you could do it too! 🙂

Haha, the mint jeans were too big and I own so many ruffles, I'm getting a little tired of it. 🙂

Thank you so much for your kind words, and I'm off to check out your blog right now! 🙂
Hahaha, you are so funny. Trust me, I have many broken things that remain untouched as well. 🙂 Thanks for your comment!
Thank you! The pattern I used is different than the one on the model but if you look closely, I used one of the options that are on the pattern, I promise. 🙂 I didn't do a tutorial on this dress but only told the pattern I used, but if you'd like me to be a guest post, I'd love to! Just email me at [email protected], thanks!
Thank you SO much for your comments, everyone! It means a lot to me, so thank you. 🙂

Hi, I have read your whole post and I don't see any mention of the patterns you used to make this dress. I see in several comments you replied that you used 2 patterns, would you be able to share which ones? This dress is absolutely beautiful and I would love to create a similar one in pink for myself. Thank you!
