I love restyling patterns and giving them new looks! And recreating a pattern as cute as the Bubble Pockets Shorts could not be more exciting and fun. So I couldn’t help myself and I made, not one, but two flips! Here are the Bubble Pockets Rompers!…

For citywear version I chose simple white and yellow striped cotton seersucker. To give it a girly look I added a bit of “broderie anglaise” on the pockets and yokes and all these details were finished with white bias tape. The goal was to have a stylish outfit but still somewhat classic and discreet.

No changes were made to the original Bubble Shorts Pattern (why change something that is already perfect?!) and, for the bodice, I’ve just adapted the width and length of the O+S dress pattern, keeping its front and back pieces with the same design and shoulder straps with little ties.

Teresa’s photo shoot was made at Casa dos Condes de Castro Guimaraes’ gardens, here in Cascais, and I love the contrast between the old “azulejos” (typical Portuguese tiles) and her new summer outfit…

As in the city version, the shorts keep their original shape but the bodice has undergone a major transformation. As I wanted to have an open back, the bodice ties around the neck with two big sprites of neon bias tape.

The photo shoot took place in the walkway that connects our home to Guincho’s beach and Teresa had lots of fun climbing, sliding, and playing in the dunes with her new romper!
