I know there’s no way I could make 100 million Sonata Dresses, but that’s what it feels like I’m doing right now. This is actually only number 3 and I already have fabric lined up for number 4, 5, 6. This dress is so incredibly comfortable and beautiful that I want one in every color and every option the pattern has to offer!
My niece turned 15 on Saturday, so we traveled 15 hours to be there for her special day. The party was Hawaiian themed which I had no idea about! My fabric choice ended up being perfect for the party theme and I got many compliments on my dress! Everyone loved the pockets! I’m telling you, POCKETS PEOPLE! IT HAS POCKETS! 😆 I was only able to get a couple of pictures because, well, I have three toddlers and they were a handful to keep up with. Also, no one ever seems to know how to use my camera (sorry bro). This dress was perfect for the occasion. I never once felt restricted or afraid of bending over to pick up the kids off the floor when they were going through a little tantrum. I danced, I ran, I twirled, I had a wonderful time and felt beautiful. That’s what really matters right? How you feel in a dress is key! I wore it with heels until I realized I was going to need to not break my ankles running after my kids. Fortunately, this dress looks great dressed up or down!
I went with the flutter sleeves this time and absolutely loved the way they looked on me. I lined the dress with a knit poly interlock and used a stabilizer on the front neckline. The fabric I purchased some time ago at Joanns in there silky woven fabrics section. I can’t remember exactly what it is, but I’m pretty sure it’s rayon. I was in super hot and humid South Texas weather and didn’t feel hot or get sweaty. I even took a second dress just in case that happened but didn’t have to change! Hurray!
If you haven’t snagged this pattern and you are looking for a flattering and comfortable summer dress then you need to look no further! The Sonata is THE one!
