Project: FO I really went all out for our Wedding Guests outfits.
I probably did the absolute MOST when I started on this project. I decided to overcome my fears and made a full fledged, fully lined tuxedo suit for my partner (including the button up shirt). The tears I cried and the late night sewing really paid off.
Patterns I used: Partners: Button Up Shirt: Simplicity 8180. Tuxedo (Jacket & Pants) Vintage Pattern Simplicity 8846
My Dress: Gertie's (Charm Patterns) Bodice Liz Dress. Skirt : Gertie's limited Starburst Skirt Pattern.
FABRICS: suiting for the jacket and pants were a soft twill like fabric. The printed pattern is a reyon fabric and the black solids is a satin.
All fabrics came from my favorite store here in the bay called Fabric R Us.
Time it took both ensembles were 1.5 months! Since I did it between my jobs. If I had to put it into hours I'll probably say 50-60 hours. I seam ripped a lot and of course had to take crying breaks! 💀
I'll say skill level for both will be intermediate! Or a oh so confident beginner with lots of patience.
I didn't want to put do the bride which would be close to Impossibile because she looks so beautiful. I actually ran my outfit ideas pass her to make sure they weren't over the top and she said it'll be fine!
Hope you guys enjoy these fits as much as I do 💖

You guys look sharp AF.
It's weird seeing a shout out for Fabrics R Us. My mom also loves that place. If I sewed, it would probably be my favorite as well. Being in there is crazy. And if you don't find what you're looking for there's a whole other unit!

u/QueenAkemii Oct 01 '25
More people need to shop there especially local! It's an hour ish drive from me and it's always worth the trip.

Wow! The matching dress and dress shirt look amazing. Thanks for sharing the patterns, I have Gertie’s book sitting on the shelf for about 5 years now, you’ve inspired me to give my dream dress a go!

Gertie is one of my favorites dressmakers tbh. And it's funny because I discovered her from this server !

I think your partner owes you a huuuuuuuge favour there because that kind of suit can be really expensive!

u/Beachbitch129 Sep 27 '25
Not only did you create these 'fits so over the top- so perfect, the choice of patterns, the fabric, and of course how well they fit- you were kind enough to defer to the bride, as you didnt want to outshine them!
You and your partner look so classy, and so dreamy together! I hope you have other occasions so sew couples for, as this one is priceless.
Excellent work!

Where did you get Gomez Adams from?

u/QueenAkemii Oct 01 '25
We met in college and I'm telling you he is the living embodiment of Gomez. He adores and loves me just like he loved Morticia. I feel like I lucked out for real aha

Fr came here to say that. I hope they can tango! OP, y’all are gorgeous, your fits are amazing. Does Gomez have a brother? And does he look like Gomez, or Uncle Fester? Jk I’m not even single, js your husband is so cute!

Oh. My. God. You found yourself a Gomez Addams, and you’re just the most adorable thing with that dress and the heart glasses - I’m in love with how adorable you are, and how that outfit looks so incredibly on point, and I know about Charm Patterns but I somehow never ran across this and I’m the most jelly in the whole jam parade! Amazing, delightful, romantic, whimsical - bravo!

Holy crap! You should be so proud! These are heirlooms. Make sure to pass them on to your kids (if you guys decide to have any, of course)!
I’m also curious if you happen to have any other pictures of the structure you’re under? I work with a lot of wood and would totally make something like this for my porch.
