Ladies Perfect Petal Skirt from Little Lizard King

April 29, 2015/ Jessica Stewart

I am a big fan of skirts. For me, I think sometimes they're easier to fit than pants if you're buying them off the rack, and I just love the femininity that they bring to just about any outfit. Our next pattern review is a really fun and flirty skirt from Little LIzard King. I'll turn it over to Leonie and Paige to show you their take on it!

This pattern will be available in the Women's Bundle UP May 1-8 at a deep discount, and after may 22 at full price in the Little Lizard King SHOP.

Today Brianne is reviewing the Opal Knit Flutter Tunic Top and Dress by Tie Dye Diva and it definitely fits the bill when I want something a little more special than a plain, knit tee.

E&M Dress#17 and FREE Legings

January 15, 2015/ Suzanne Winter

We've talked before about my love of versatility - if I can't make a pattern in 20 gazillion different ways, I rarely buy it. But the E&M #17 dress fits my love of versatility in every way possible. This is a dress - an A-line dress, an A-line dress with long or 3/4 length sleeve - both with optional cuffs, an A-line Dress that can have a defined waist with shirring, elastic, or a belt and belt loops, an A-line dress with a normal hem, high low hem, or a shirt tail hem, an A-line dress with a cowl neck or banded neck, and last but not least - an A-line dress with POCKETS. Don't we all love pockets!!!! But seriously, that is a ton of options all in one pattern.

The Perri Pullover from Cali Faye brings comfort and style to a whole new level - no more stealing your second half's oversized sweatshirt, this one is all for you!

Here are Trisha and Alexis to show it off......
