A hand-sewn ceremonial outfit: a review of the best looks

Summer is coming, the 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 suit, believe me, it's guaranteed success!

Whether you love beautiful materials, clean cuts, perfect outfits for dancing or are in the bride's BBF team, here is a review of the perfect silhouettes for going 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 onto the dance floor? Opt for 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 open back will definitely raise the temperature of the evening.

Sewn in our beautiful Solaris Ultra Orange print , Cuba Libre has a sparkling and elegant look. Pair with precious gold flat sandals and a pretty, sleek bangle for a look that'll make you irresistible!

The fashion guest with a sharp style

If dresses are clearly not your thing, a 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 reflects you.

The Mimosa jacket and Cosmopolitan playsuit patterns make a modern and comfortable duo. The jacket has a beautiful straight cut, a deceptively casual shawl collar, and the perfect length. In the Sulfide Yellow playsuit, you'll look amazing, ready to rock the dance floor!

Give your outfit an extra touch of elegance by pairing it with very couture sandals with a sophisticated cut and a designer piece of jewelry.

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 perfectly proportioned cape. This pretty dress pattern also stands out with its very pretty back neckline (bra compatible), and the cutwork of the cape frees the hands and makes it very comfortable to wear (hop hop, grab a coupette without any hassle). Accessorized with jeweled sandals and a bracelet that won't 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 model 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.

The 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 combined with a remarkable fabric.

For the perfect guest outfit, pair it with precious touches that also play the game of no-nonsense elegance: a beautiful mesh necklace, golden sandals... You'll make your entrance with a very refined simplicity ;)

The Bridesmaids Gang

Either you're in a group of sewing friends, or there's one who devotes herself and whips out her sewing machine. You're going to be in all the photos, solo or with others, you need THE outfit that you'll be proud to see in the albums! The Haut Vol dress has everything you need to meet your requirements, sewn in a beautiful solid 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 backstage making sure the bride lacks nothing, then always have the party impeccable.

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