Frock planning for high tea

Frock planning for high tea

Seamstress poppykettle has organised a Sewcie Tea in Melbourne to gives us locals a chance to frock up, eat up and bubble up.  Did anyone mention French champagne?

Poppykettle has challenged us to sew our best icing for the event.  I’ve also added another condition on myself – to use patterns and fabric from the stash.  The stash is large, but not really geared for icing, but this is what I’ve come up with so far…

A dress (view B of V8755 ) with a little more tailoring than I’m used to (notice how it’s high waisted?) in a Japanese cotton from Tessuti.

The dress might be a little on the plain side, but check out my proposed jacket (Kwik Sew 3781).  I think a floral mane might suit me.  Am I out of my mind?  Please set me straight.

Are you coming?  Is this outfit ‘formal’ enough for high tea?  What would you make to wear to this event?
