Want to start the week with some eye candy? The latest "La Mia Boutique" issue is full of beautiful dress patterns. Take a look:
This jacket and dress combo is on the cover. It's quite formal and very elegant in black and white, but I think both patterns could be translated in something much younger and fun using bright colors or prints.
A very simple yet super feminine dress. I love the full skirt, the deep neckline both in the front and in the back, I'm not too sold on the drawstring thing, but this is a dress I could easily wear everyday this summer.
This is probably my favorite from this issue. The keyhole in the front and the opening in the back are beautiful. The contrasting bands at the hem are also a very nice detail.
I think I've already seen a dress more or less like this one in Burda at some point, but the shirred panel in the back makes it kind of unique. It makes fitting the dress so much easier! I love how the pleats at the bust are echoed in the pleats of the skirt.
This dress kind of reminds me of
Victory Patterns' Chloe, but with zippered pockets and a V neckline. This silhoutte works very well for my body shape, so this dress will definitely go in my (neverending) wishlist.
