rompers

The issue of rompers seems to be a bit of a polarized one.  I used to rule them out entirely, assuming they were weird and juvenile, not to mention unflattering.  But then my beautiful friend, Christina, wore one to an afternoon barbecue that I hosted... and my thoughts started to change.  Not only did she look glamorous (per usual), but she also looked really comfortable.  Perhaps I could start by rocking one around the house... you know, a little Saturday lounging outfit (Lounging, what?  I don't really even remember what lounging feels like, but you know what I'm talking about.)

rompers (clockwise): penelope's, topshop, modcloth, topshop

Then, when I was pattern-shopping over girls' weekend, we happened upon a $1 per pattern sale at Joann's!  the perfect justification for trying out a romper had arrived!  I could sew my own for $1 + the price of fabric (which in my head at the time was negligible, because I intended to make it out of a vintage bed sheet.... currently rethinking that plan, since even in the privacy of my own home, I don't want to look like a loony-cake).


and so, this is my sewing mission for the weekend: a romper.
