Giveaway: What Shall I Wear?

My favorite piece of clothing right now is a pair of jeans I bought at the Gap 5 or 6 years ago. I didn’t wear them much for a while but they’re perfectly broken in, perfectly half-faded from the original dark wash, and unbelievably flattering!

I made myself a sparkly star headband and I love it!

Right now I’m enjoying my traditional Lee jeans. My daughters think they are SO high in the waist! My oldest daughter would be interested in this book.

My favorite item of clothing at the moment is honestly a pair of thick leggings. They are indispensable in the winter time if you love wearing dresses but, like me, live in Wisconsin. It’s not a very glamorous favorite item but I would be very unhappy without them!

What a great giveaway! At the moment, my favourite garment is the pink coat I made for this winter. I love the bright fuschia colour, the warm wool, the luxurious touch of the silk lining and the great tailoring and pattern making that went into that coat. The fact that I spent a lot of time and special care to make it also make it my favourite item. And it lights up any grey morning…

My fave piece of clothing is a tunic/dress pattern that I made in denim by Amy Butler. Mine is knee length and a staple for any weather with leggings.

Thanks for the chance to win!

I have a charcoal ponte knit wrap dress that I made using Butterick/See & Sew 5546. It’s comfortable and stylish. It also marks my first successful attempt at sewing with knits.

At the moment it would be my wool sweater. It’s finally feeling like winter here, now we just need some snow… I’d like to try making my own version of this sweater someday, but for the moment I’m sticking to smaller projects!

Right now my favorites are all my scarves. They are such a fast, easy way to take a shirt and pants up just a notch.

At the moment, my favorite thing to wear are a pair of casual, lightweight, dark khaki cropped pants. They fit perfectly and I can dress them up or down depending on the top, shoes and accessories I wear with them. They’re the most comfortable pair of pants I’ve ever bought and didn’t have to do any alterations to them! Thanks for hosting the giveaway! :)

My favourite piece of clothing is my Maria Denmark Night-to-Day drape top. Keeping my fingers crossed

it is my son’s flannel bathrobe, which i’m wearing right now with some late morning coffee and a cold. he’s stationed far and away, and i think of him every time i pull it on.

My current favourite is a bright red leopard print shirtdress I just finished making. It ended up a little shorter than I wanted thanks to a seam-ripper incident, but it’s actually quite a nice change! I used a full 3 widths of fabric pleated into the skirt so it’s lovely and full, and I love the bright print.

My favorite clothing item is a hot pink jersey maxi dress that I purchased last year from the gap. It is comfortable and flattering. I can’t wait until the warm weather returns so that I may wear it again (I live in Texas, so warm weather will be returning soon!). I fully intend to copy this dress in pattern form so that I can make it in several colors.

Thank you for hosting the giveaway!

My favourite piece of clothing right now is a cape in camel-coloured wool. It’s long enough in the “sleeves” that I don’t get cold, it stops even the peskiest of winds, and it flows beautifully when I walk. It even has a sewn-in scarf.

If shoes were included I’d say my brown Aigle wellingtons, though. It’s a completely unglamorous answer, but they are soft and comfortable like no other pair of wellingtons I’ve ever owned, they’re pretty enough that I can go into town in them without feeling silly, they perfectly match my gloves, and the details are really cool… like, the insides are purple, which you get the tiniest glimpse of at the calf slit. They weren’t cheap, but they’re perfectly country chic (and I really do live in the country).

My current favorite is a top I’m working on right now. It’s a basic button up collared shirt, made out of a soft flannel with a print of Tiki masks all over it :) I love that it has a tropical print, but is a cool weather shirt. I’m going home to Oregon for a visit in a few weeks and plan to take it with me to keep me cozy!

Would love to win this book and gift certificate! My favorite piece of clothing right now are tops with asymmetrical hems–either longer on one side or longer at both sides and shorter in the middle. I think they are really flattering. I am also into scarves right now–wearing different ones to match my mood.

my favorite clothing item is a pair of comfy flannel pajamas I sewed myself over christmas.

My favorite piece of clothing right now is my wedding dress. I got married this past October in the gown that my grandmother and mom were wed in. It was handmade in upstate New York in 1959 by a very talented seamstress. My mom and I both changed a few details, but the dress is pretty much the same as the original. It’s an heirloom that I will always cherish.

What a unique giveaway! My favorite piece of clothing is usually the last thing I made, so right now that means a top I made with a slinky knit (magenta with black polka dots) based on Simplicity 2580. Thanks for offering up such great gifts!

My favorite piece of clothing right now is a casual wrap style cotton cardigan. No buttons, attached self-tie belt. It is the perfect length, the perfect amount of warmth for me when I am chilly. I found it in a thrift store and love it to pieces.

Ooh, sounds like a fun book! I’d love to throw my name in the bucket :)

My current favorite piece of clothing is also my newest piece – a pair of jeans. I didn’t make them, but they’re a local designer (Imogene + Willie), which should count for something :) They were totally, ridiculously expensive, but surprisingly worth every penny. I’ve never owned a pair of jeans that fit so well, and as a result I’ve worn them every single day for the past 2 weeks (and thrown out all my other pairs).

My favorite piece of clothing is a flannel shirt with southwestern-inspired stripe pattern. My then-boyfriend and I bought it at Euro Disney on my 25th birthday in 1992 and I got married wearing it (Vegas, baby!!!) two years later. I’ve worn my “wedding flannel” for many many years and it is too worn out on the cuffs and collar to wear now, but it proudly hangs in closet, waiting for the day that I use the fabric to make something else out of it.

Please enter me in the giveaway!
My favorite piece of clothing at present is under construction! It’s a navy blue crepe Peony with white piping on the short sleeves, around the neck and on either side of the belt. It will be done soon and I can’t wait to wear it!

My blog is a book blog so if you need to contact me, you can reach me at alleluialu@gmail.com .

Right now I think my favorite item of clothing is a mustard-colored wool pencil skirt that I’ve had for years.

My favorite piece right now is the alpaca-paperdolls-sweater designed by Kate Davies that I knit last year….

Hmm… what to choose! I just finished a turquoise skirt made from my own pattern that I just adore. Big deep pockets, contrast seam binding, and a gloriously ’80s waistband. What’s not to love?

I’m currently loving a men’s cardigan that I picked up at a second hand shop. It’s a classic men’s style, and it is warm and comfy. I want to wear it everyday!!

Hello! I would absolutely love this book and gift certificate! My favorite piece of clothing right now is a black crepe pencil skirt my mom bought me a few years ago – I lost some weight recently and it fits again, whee!! I feel amazing in it.

I just sewed a nursing dress and I’m really pleased with the result, both the finishing on it and the details, as well as the fact that I’ve finally conquered knits! It doesn’t fit right now, but come late spring and summer I see myself in this dress all the time, feeling stylish while nursing my new baby.

Hi Sarai,
The piece of clothing I love the most is an old, old Smartwool pullover. Not really a sweater per se, but a lightweight knit that just takes the chill off alone, or is good for layering. I have various weights of fleece items that work in the same fashion, but this top seems to be warmer and more comfortable. I purchased it at what I thought was a horrendous price at an end-of-season sale at a local ski shop when Smartwool items first arrived from New Zealand. Being able to throw it into the washing machine was a bonus too. It must be at least 15 years old and with regular use and laundering it now has a wonderful patina and feeling. I haven’t been able to re-create anything like this with my sewing efforts. Yet!

Because it’s Winter and I need to stay warm it has to be my Cuddles undergarments!

Pencil skirts . . .can’t get enough!

My favorite piece of clothing is definitely a sarong, I struggle a bit to wear them this time of year, even in Southern California, an over or underlayer of some substance is required, but I do manage.

My favorite piece of clothing is a peasant top made out of rayon. It’s so light and comfortable and it fits well and is great for summer.

Yay for reprints:)!

My favorite peice at the moment is my Black Skinny Jeans…because I live in Chicago and its Winter and I can wear my Boots with them! Thanks!!!

Ooooh, what a great giveaway! My favorite piece of clothing right now is a black & gray sheath-style dress w/short sleeves that I made just before Christmas. Last night I purchased a great vintage-inspired pink bow belt (at Bettie Page in SLC) to wear with it. Thanks for the chance to win.

How exciting! I know I will never un-see this sneek peek, must have this book!

My favorite is my apple green button-down cardigan. The color is absolutely perfect and the light acrylic makes it perfect for multiple seasons. Cool enough for late spring/early summer, can be layered over long sleeves in autumn, and beautiful with any shirt style. Goes with a variety of bottoms and shoes. My first cardigan and I just fell in love!

Fun giveaway! My favorite garment right now is, uninterestingly, my boyfriend jeans. They’re the first pair of jeans I’ve felt good in for quite some time.

I’m loving fun socks. I wear a lot of knee highs, especially now in the winter to keep my legs warm. I love the patterns and pictures I can show off on my feet. And when they wear out on the heel, I cut off the feet and make leg warmers for my toddler. :)

Thanks for the giveaway! My favorite piece of clothing is a very soft purple sweater I picked up at a second-hand shop. It’s like getting a hug everytime I wear it.

I recently dug up a boxy, black and white striped, silk shirt from my mom’s old closet and cannot stop wearing it. She’s a reality show-worthy hoarder and has saved every piece of clothing she has ever owned since she immigrated to Canada when she was 17. I’ve been picking from her closet since I was a teenager and cannot believe that I’ve overlooked this jem all these years. It’s truly amazing to realize how my taste has evolved over the years through each piece I “discover” .

My favorite piece of clothing right now is a very cozy color-blocked sweater dress that I purchased recently. It makes it a little easier to crawl out of bed on cold winter mornings when I know that I can get dressed in something so warm and comfortable.

My favorite piece of clothing right now is a leopard print shirt I made, which is ridiculously patterned but is one of the most well-made items I’ve created.

I’m in love with a plain-jane brown cardigan that seems to be ridiculously coordinated with everything, but I didn’t make it.
I did, however, make an awesome top I have yet to blog. It’s patterned, which was a big step for me. Hooray for big steps!

My absolute favourite is a mid-grey jersey dress I made about 2 years ago. Very boring I know but the fabric is so heavy and swishy, the skirt is flouncy and the wrap neckline is perfect for work (not a Tiramisu though!)

I can wear it with any colours of tights, shoes, jackets, cardigans and boots and it’s so comfortable. It’s basically work appropriate pyjamas!

This book looks like a fun read! My favorite piece of clothing right now is my wool coat/cape, which basically feels like wearing a very warm and slightly stylish blanket: http://megmadethis.blogspot.com/2013/01/winter-swing-jacket.html

My favourite piece of clothing at the moment is RTW, but I love it! It’s a cobalt blue sheath dress with a high collar, interesting belt loops (I don’t even know how to desribe them) and exactly the understated elegance I love so much! And it’s fully lined, with sleeves, which means I can wear it to work without bothering with a cardigan. And on top of that it looks like something from the early 60s, late 50s… I adore it!

Right nwo I love to wear a sweater that I knitted. The wool is very confortable. The sweater is loose and comfortable.
