Le Stretch Lace Dress

Nothing poses a getting-ready quandary quite like black tie optional. Its vague and can result in guests wearing a hodgepodge of looks that are all over the map when it comes to levels of formality, Alexandra Macon, Vogue contributing editor and co-founder of wedding e-commerce site Over the Moon says

People that dont see a point in paying for a black tie outfit, can get some kind of black tie that can be repurposed into other areas of life, or viceversa, like the example with the corduroy suit or the cream linen jacket

I think an outfit like this can absolutely look nice for a birthday celebration, while still being practical and comfortable

As always I used a self-drafted pattern based on antique Edwardian sewing patterns and made the dress as historically accurate as possible
