My Capsule Wardrobe

Ya'll... I can't even begin to describe how excited I am to have completed this particular under garment. I've worked on bralettes before; I even dabbled in sewing the Sophie Swimsuit last year which has a very similar construction to this Marlborough Bra, but I honestly never thought I would receive so much joy from one little project.

This kimono-style robe is the definition of luxurious... at least for me. I. Am. Obsessed!

I had had my eye on this Alexander Henry fabric since the very first day Topstitch had set out to purchase some of their prints for the shop. I feel as if I was a step away from begging the owner to please please please bring it in to the shop because I wanted to purchase at least 3 yards...
