Are you as sold as we are on the Gladys pattern? By now, you know from the magazine that it can be made as a long, flowing dress or a stylish blouse. Still, maybe you're a bit lost when it comes to actually styling the pattern with your everyday outfits? Or perhaps you’d like to add another print or a few more layers? We’d like to share some inspiration from our community on Instagram via #fibremoodgladys. Made entirely by and for you!
Dreamy bohemian style
Flounces and frills in a single dress – that’s all you need to transform Gladys into a bohemian delight. Add a cool belt and a pair of boots, and you’ve got your outfit! It’s the kind of dress that's a breeze to make and wear. Are blouses more your style? The Gladys blouse pairs gorgeously with a pair of wide culottes or a long circle skirt and great boots. Can’t get enough of the wild, wild, West trend? Pair the blouse with a belt and a cowgirl hat, and you're all set!
Make your accessories in the same fabric
Mmm ... matching... We can’t get enough of it. Seeing the same fabric your garment is made in turn up in other items is always a treat. And that only happens if you actually sew your own clothes! That’s your ticket to truly unique outfits, i.e. the perfect win-win. Copy this Sewista and style your Gladys with matching fabric accessories.
All about layers
Not too long ago, we gave you the lowdown on how to style your outfit with layering. Gladys is the perfect example. Brave the icy cold weather in – you guessed it! – a cheerful, flowing dress with a polo neck underneath.
Prints, prints, prints, and still more prints!
Whatever the pattern, your choice of fabric makes a huge difference to the end result. And the same can be said of the print (or prints!) you select. Wondering just how well Gladys – as a dress or blouse – works in a print, or even a combination of prints? Check out these examples for a dose of inspiration!
