Mother of the groom dress. Modified Stokx’s Summer birdy dress with new puff reach sleeve. Feels amazing. Linen underlined with bemberg rayon. Buttons were not my first choice. But I think it came together. Thanks for all your help and encouragement. Sometimes It takes a village. #stokxbirdydress

Another party dress… still needs a finished neckline and hem. Stokx’s Summer Birdy with a few tweaks. Removed center front and back seams, cut on fold. I can pull this dress on over my head. Added some flare and length to skirt. With the designer’s guidance changed the wing sleeve to more of a cape sleeve which gives me more coverage of my upper arms. Super comfortable and so great for the summer heat. Fabric is a lt weight cotton twill with a bit of stretch. Feels a bit big due to the stretch. Might take in a bit more. Lovely pockets. Truly cannot stop making this pattern. #stokxbirdydress

Mother of Groom’s dress update! Very pleased. Buttons, hem, and collar to go! 5 days left. Easy peasy! Absolutely loving this dress. Beautiful lt to med wt linen, underlined with a bemberg rayon. The dress is Stokx Summer Birdy with puff reach sleeve expansion that makes this dress so comfortable while giving me the upper arm coverage that I love! Button snafu, after ordering buttons 6 weeks before wedding, my first choice buttons will not arrive in time. Trying to find 28 3/8” matching buttons that are in stock has been a big challenge. Took 3 JoAnne Fabrics but I have a set of silver buttons. I have also tried self covered buttons but I am not happy with the color match… stay tuned and wish me luck #stokxbirdydress

Construction has begun on my mother of the groom dress. 10 days till wedding! No worries. Weeks ago, I Ordered buttons from 4 different places, 3 will not show in time. One set arrived and they are a bit too small and a dozen short. There will be 28 buttons down the front. I swapped in new type of button placket on the Stokx’s Birdy dress. No visible stitches. I lowered the V neck which requires a change to collar which I am nervous about. All pieces are underlined with Bemberg Rayon lining which is bagging down on larger skirt sections. Still don’t know how I am going to hem this beast. Decided to use reach puff sleeve instead of the curved wing sleeve. Hoping Mother Nature is kind weather wise. Don’t you just love a challenge! I do. 😝 #stokxbirdydress

This is a toile of my party version of the Summer Birdy. Chose longer curve sleeves. Curve collar. Added flare to the bottom and finished with hi lo hem. Not sure. #stokxbirdydress
