Fall Sewing - Bohemian Dress Inspiration
I don't know what is up with my sewing mojo these days - I struggled so much with what I wanted to do with my white dress, and now I'm having a similar conundrum over another dress. Maybe it's just that I don't wear a lot of dresses? Anyway, I have a wedding to attend in late October and my anniversary is early October, so I was thinking about sewing up a dress to do double-duty. I have vague ideas of doing a short flowy bohemian dress, and I bought this gorgeous fabric from Emma One Sock to do so with:
I was thinking also that a lot of my sewing lately has been for very event specific things, so I was hoping to make it on the more casual side of the spectrum, so I could wear it for general life as well (because it wasn't already a tricky enough decision for me). Anywho, I put together a little inspiration pinterest board, but I still struggling to narrow it down! Anything stick out to you?
Some general ideas I'm musing on how to put together:
Side note #1: How do people make such nice pictures of their pinterest boards? Mine looks like crap.
Side note #2: I somehow managed to forget about Burda patterns when I was figuring out my white dress. While scrolling through, I found patterns that fit almost every dress I was thinking about, which would have saved me just a touch of time!

Some general ideas I'm musing on how to put together:
- Deep v-neck
- Interesting gathering around the bust area
- High waist vs. no waist
- 3/4 length sleeves with gathered cuff, maybe a tie?
- Somewhat fitted a-line skirt vs. gathered, ruffled skirt
