When it snows you have a photo shoot. Not really but when it snows in Memphis you do. I wanted to take advantage of the snow while it was still around and also show case my dress (set) for the February sew your view challenge. The challenge features the Erica Dress from Style Sew Me Patterns. What I saw the back I knew I wanted a heart shape and so I went ahead and created the heart shape pattern to get the silhouette I wanted. Because of the fabric I chose I knew it was a lot of print, so I needed it broken up a little so I decided to make it into a set that I could wear with a different top or pants. I was absolutely happy with the outcome and it seems many others too because I received a lot of love for it.
Here is my pattern review
