Matt’s Birthday Colette Negroni #3
If you participated in #virtualfrocktails back on April 4th, you may have seen this Colette Patterns Negroni I made for this handsome fella.

I learned so much about fit making the Pastille dress, but realistically, I don’t see it being something I will wear very often.
