Made by a Fabricista: The Golden Girl
Now since this is a LUXE fabric the pattern needed to be simple, so I chose McCall's 7200 "Easy" kimono. I made view C with view B length. The pattern is very Easy perfect for a beginning sewist. It is a slim fitting kimono so if I use the pattern again I will add some width for a fuller look. I would also make my ties thicker, they are a little dainty for me.
I love the look of this kimono because you can dress it up or down. I topped my Golden look off with a pair of DIY distressed jeans that I made using Simplicity's 8222 #Mimigstyle pattern, a plain white t-shirt, these fabulous Gold open toe shoes and the statement of all statement necklaces.
I hope you've enjoyed my golden look and are inspired to give gold a try!
Until next time Michelle @www.thatblackchic.com

Love this! It looks really expensive. I never realized fabric mart has so many colors of dupioni! Any of the colors would look great with this jacket style, but my favorite is the Stone Gray/Black Variegated. Gorgeous!
I've never seen gold metallic silk before. Fancy – I love it!
You look adorable! I never think I have anything I want to sew in dupioni and FM also has the best ever colors and patterns of it. I have a similar pattern — the Tokyo jacket from Tessuti and this gives me the best ideas!!!!
Super Cute…missed your post:)

Thank you hun!

The whole outfit is just stunning! I love how the distressed jeans balance the jacket.
Well, then SHE looks adorable! I actually ended up buying some dupioni yesterday in the sale. I have the Tessuti Tokyo jacket which is very similar. I can't wait until it gets here!!!! Thanks SO MUCH for posting this!
Love, love, love this kimono.
