My biggest dressmaking challenge yet!

So this year, in April, we are finally getting married! What a perfect excuse for a special occassion dressmaking challenge..

The thing is, I don't really like wedding dresses in the traditional sense but I would like to make and wear something special. Our celebration will be relatively low key but with most of our friends and family so it will be important to have a decent party dress!

The biggest challenge for me isn't how complicated the construction is, it's more about choosing a pattern shape that feels right and of course selecting great fabrics. I am thinking tea-dress length with a hint of 50s or 60s in style and in the fabric choice. My Pinterest research has lead me to the sort of images below. These will act as my inspiration!
