Rock Your Next Holiday Party

Believe it or not the Holiday season is right around the corner!  This is the time of year when you catch up with old friends, spend quality time with family, and of course attend holiday parties.  For me, when I know a party is coming up one of the first things I think about is what I'll be wearing.  It's important for me to look my best especially around people I haven't seen in awhile.  I usually wear a dress because it's feminine, flattering, and easy to wear.

Brelow is our top three favorite fabrics for the Holidays to get you started.  Custom is the best way to ensure a perfect fit.  So you'll look your best this holiday season.

Colette Embroidery-  An allover floral embroidery of tan, taupe, and silver flowers create a neautral, but stunning fabric. The Collette Embroidery is from our favorite French fabric house, Albert Guegain.

Karolina Embroidery- This french, lightweight black cotton has a jewel tone allover embroidery.

Peacock Nuevo- The Peacock Nuevo is a pink, black, and silver brocade with modern peacock motif, with the feathers pointing down.  The fabric shines beautifully, perfect for the holidays!

Shift Dress Holiday Inspiration

One of my favorite bloggers, Katie B from katiebressack.com, specializes in teaching busy women how to live vibrant and healthy lifestyles.  Here are some of her tips for Rocking your next holiday party whether you're trying to impress coworkers or meeting new people and want to look and feel your best.

Katie Says...

I love holiday parties! It is a perfect excuse to get out of my yoga clothes and into some fun outfits. What I don’t like is feeling as if I got off track by eating things I normally wouldn’t and drinking more wine than I should. Over the years I have learned some ways to rock that holiday party without feeling it the next morning.

1. Eat before the party! Never show up for a party on an empty stomach. You will consume more food and get tipsy much faster. If you are leaving right from work bring something with you to work or when you go out to lunch pick up something for dinner too.

2. Water! If you are planning on drinking alternative water in between each of your drinks! This will help with the hangover and the conversation you wish you didn’t have with your boss.

3. Napkin test! Place the food on a napkin if it leaves a grease mark you probably don’t want to eat it. This fool proof test never fails.

4. Healthy Options! Avoid the dips and chips but grab the veggies next to them. At holiday parties there will be many temptations, sweets and fried food galore, so before you start eating look at all of the options.

5. Dance! I don’t think it is a party unless there is music. Bring your dancing shoes and have fun. Not to bad for getting your exercise in that day!

Remember these healthy tips but don’t get to caught up in them. It is a party so rock it and enjoy

Big Hugs & Health
Katie

 I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday season!

What's What With Fabric

Have you picked out which fabric you're going to use for your new Sevier Dress this Fall?  There are so many beautiful choices it's hard to pick a favorite!  Right now I'm going between Liberty Water Stripe Red for my Shift (click to see more!) or Morgan Diamond for my Fit and Flair (click to see more!).

Of course there are always the new fabrics to look forward to.  It's so exciting looking through those new fabric swatches imagening them as skirts and dresses.  While Fabric shopping in Paris, LA, and New York this past season we chose items specifically with our dresses in mind, so expect to see some beautiful pieces.

A lot of people have been asking me, are there certain fabrics that work better for dresses and what should I look for when choosing a dress fabric.  Great question!  Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a dress Fabric:

I know what you're thinking.  Yes, all of this is great, but what does it all mean.  

Lets begin with #1.  Light weight fabrics are great for movement.  Since the shift dress is all about comfort and style check out our Liberty fabrics like the Floral Trellis or the Mandarin Ribbon.  Subtle embroidery fabrics also looks great as a shift such as the Karolina Embroideries in Ivory, Blue, or Black.  The Blooming Dots both look amazing as do the Floressence fabrics.

#2 Since the Fit and Flair has a little more structure they work really well in a heavier fabric.  We love this style of dress in all shades of the Morgan Diamond, Ace Teal, Valerie Rainbow, Spiral Lattice, Marissa Grey or Black, and the Willow Branches.

What we mean by "Non-textured" is avoid anything with an applique or ruffle that extends off of the fabric.  While this may look amazing as a skirt sometimes it might not work well for a dress.

Of course, these are just guidelines when choosing your fabric.  It really depends on what you love and feel great in!  I can't wait to see what everyone chooses this coming Fall!
 

Dress-ing For Success Pt.2

Who's excited about ordering a custom Sevier Dress this fall?!  I know I am!  Last week we discussed the ins and outs of our Fit and Flair dress (so cute!).  If you missed that post you can read it here. 

As promised we are going to highlight our second Sevier Dress style, the Shift.

 

Shift dresses are amazing.  If you have never owned a shift dress I suggest you start with ordering our custom Shift Dress this fall.  They are super comfortable, easy to wear, easy to pack for a weekend trip or vacation, and look super cute.  Whenever I know I'm going to be doing a lot of running around town or sightseeing in a new city I always wear my shift dress.
