Birthday

My birthday was a few weeks ago.  We went to Bottega Louie in downtown LA, then to the lounge at the Bonaventure.

 

This is the dress I made.  I used Simplicity 1873, made the back a scoop back, and added petal sleeves.  The dress was really simple to make.  I think Matt’s vest actually took longer!

 

I made Matt’s vest with navy brocade and a navy lining fabric.  I used gold buttons, and I got him a gold tie in the fashion district.
