As I moved my cold weather tops into my dresser last fall, I found myself unable to descern what was what in the stacks of grey, black, and navy. Man did I need some variety, so I’ve worked on addeding some color (here & here) and print (here).
When I was selecting fabric for my next Simply By Ti Ambassador* project, I thought I’d go in an unexpected direction by choosing a super bright pink. I haven’t worn pink in at least a decade, so I’m not even sure if it works for me, but here we go. What do you think?
I don’t usually dress on theme for holidays, but I think I’m going to be pretty in pink this Valentines day. The Red White and Pink tour will be full of ideas for you to check out along the theme -keep reading to the end to see the full tour.
The Pattern: B6388 view C in a size medium with no alterations. I’d made the dress view previously, so there was no guesswork as to fit or size.
Just after I had finished my top version, Elle Gee posted about two dresses she made with the pattern. I think I need to try some color mixing next.
The Fabric: Fuchsia French Terry from Simply by Ti. I’ve sewn with the French Terry from the shop several times and I just love it. It’s soft, has just the right body, and is easy to sew with.
We’re sharing Red White and Pink all month.

Pink is a great color on you. The top goes nicely with the skirt and will pair easily with jeans.

The pink is fun! I have a hard time picking colors other than navy & gray for my wardrobe. Maybe I need to introduce some pink…

Yes, I think pink looks good on you. It seems like a straightforward and easy sew . Was that the case ? I like this pattern as it seems you can dress it up or wear it as a more casual outfit.
