Happy Wednesday! I hope you all are doing well during this holiday season. Did anyone else get sucked into all those cyber Monday deals? I didn’t do too much damage, I just purchased some ankle boots. The sale I found was too good to pass up. I’ll also be able to pair my new boots with my upcoming DIY looks. These thoughts helped me to justify my purchases and not feel bad later.
Today’s post is all about the Naomi Dress. I’m in love with this dress, it’s perfect for the holiday season and many more occasions. The way the flounces move when I walk, absolutely breathtaking. One of the perks to making your own garments is that you can customize them to fit your style. I have a hard time finding midi length dresses, especially if its a bodycon dress. By making my own dress I was able to choose the details that I desire and customize it to my body.
Over the past month I have been testing and creating two tutorials, the Naomi Dress and Jumpsuit. I am excited to launch these two tutorials in my shop. I’m kicking things off with a sale, two tutorials for the price of one. #Winning. After January 7th the tutorials will be sold separately, so treat yourself and catch this sale while it lasts. You can find a preview of the tutorials below. There is also some video footage of me wearing the garments and doing a little shimmy to show off the movement of the flounces.
Next week I will be posting more about the jumpsuit, but for now you can catch a sneak peak in the preview and here in my shop.

Hi Rachel! I have it posted here: http://montoyamayo.bigcartel.com/product/naomi-dress-and-jumpsuit-tutorial . Let me know if you run into any difficulties. You’re going to look amazing. I can’t wait to see it.
You are “rocking” that red dress!! I love the look…. try doing a one shoulder look and put an accessory like a flower on one shoulder. I wear these off the shoulder looks often in the summer that I pick up at my local Walmart or Target. I usually just buy a top to wear with jeans.
The pattern/design looks as if you can wear it all year round, especially, in the warmer weather. I have been shy in the past about wearing red, but this dress is sophisticated, elegant, with clean lines and captivating. I have it on my “to try” list. I hope it isn’t too too hard for us: “Beginner-istas”. Yes, I still struggle with basic things like putting in a zipper. Lol!!
job!!

Thank you Janice! I too also shy away from red, this is my first red garment and now I’m in love with the color. It’s not too hard for you “beginner-iistas”, I went through all the trial and error during my testing phase so I could teach you all the proper construction. LOL, I hear you about the zipper, I myself still get annoyed with the thought of them sometimes LOL. I think the more we insert them the better our skill level will grow and hopefully our love for inserting them will grow as well.
Do you also share what Fabric was used in this pattern?
