Featured: Day Date Dress Tutorial

January 26, 2014 by Heather Damron

I’m always on the lookout for a chic daytime dress to add to my wardrobe. I just love dresses for daytime. So simple – only one piece of actual clothing…all you need to do is accessorize! And dresses are just so comfortable.

This wonderful dress from Elle Apparel is just perfection. All the sweet details – from the peter pan collar to the buttons on the sleeves to the POCKETS. Yes, pockets.

I do love a good pocket or two.

You can make yourself your very own Day Date Dress using the tutorial over at Elle Apparel!
