A second Coffee Date Dress from guest blogger Jessi!

Hope you all saw Jessi's super cute variation on the Coffee Date dress with a Valentine's twist!  This week, she has another look for us...

Have we made it to a second date? I must warn you, this will probably be our last "date" together. While its been fun, I've really got to move on. There are so many other patterns out there!

Once again, I used the BurdaStyle Coffee Date Pattern for this dress. As I mentioned before, the pattern is fairly easy, even for a beginner, and offers room for lots of modifications.

I added a big bow to the front and made two flounces for the tails of the bow. I was largely inspired for the bow by a blouse worn by Emma Pillsbury in the first season of Glee. I can't remember the specific episode where the top is from, but I think that the bow had a flounce detail to it...

Thanks, Jessi!  Readers, click here for more Adventures with Sweetie Pie!
