The votes are in for the 2023 LBD (Little Basic Dress) Contest. For this contest, LBD is a little basic dress in a solid color done in a simple style that allows it to be dressed up or down with accessories or shoes. Fashion trends come and go but the little basic dress should be classic enough to withstand the test of time and versatile enough to be worn day or night. See Contest Rules here.
25 members participated in this contest. All our members of PatternReview had the opportunity to vote to decide the winner of first and second place. And the winners are....
First Prize Winner: HRigg in her Black Linen LBD
HRigg used New Look 6067 to make her perfect idea of a Little Basic Dress. What did HRigg have to say about her LBD, "It’s a basic dress, classy enough to withstand the test of time. It’s versatile so with appropriate accessories it can be worn for different occasions day or night. Made up in linen it is sufficiently smart for evening but not too dressy to exclude it from daytime wearing."
Congratulations HRigg, you made a great LBD that you can wear both day and night!
Second Prize Winner: dolorousrattus in her Black Ponte Knit LBD
dolorousrattus used an OOP Vogue Pattern to create her LBD. What did dolorousrattus have to say about this contest, "I don't have too many occasions where I need to wear dresses like this at this time in my life (mom of 8 year old and 5 year old kids, working from home), but having a basic dress that can be dressed up or down when the occasion calls for is still a closet staple! This is a piece that has been lacking in my own wardrobe for a while, so this contest was the perfect opportunity to fill in the gap."
dolorousrattus, so glad you were able to get your LBD completed for this contest. Perfect inspiration!
