Los Angeles Frocktails returns for its annual gathering, bringing together makers, sewists, and fashion lovers for an afternoon of creativity, connection, and truly excellent outfits.
If you’ve been saving something special to wear… this is your sign.
What’s Happening
Join us for a relaxed, stylish afternoon featuring:
A welcoming space to meet, chat, and admire each other’s work
A beautiful Arts District venue with great light and room to mingle
A DJ setting the soundtrack for the afternoon
Photo opportunities to capture your outfit (and the memories)
Easy, low-pressure icebreakers to help you meet new people
A red carpet / mock runway moment
Participation is completely optional
A fun chance to show off your work
Walk to a room full of enthusiastic, encouraging cheers
Thoughtfully crafted cocktails and small bites, designed to keep the conversation flowing
Raffles, surprises, and plenty of “wait, you made that?” moments
Think celebration, creativity, and community… with good energy doing most of the work.
Giving Back
One of our favorite Frocktails traditions continues…
Any profit from the raffles will be donated to Day for Girls, a global nonprofit supporting menstrual health education and access for women and girls. Getting dressed up for a good cause feels especially good.
Location & Getting There
We’ll be gathering at 801 Mateo St in the heart of LA’s Arts District — a creative, walkable neighborhood filled with galleries, cafés, and excellent spots to keep the fun going.
Driving:
Street parking and nearby paid lots are available. Arriving a little early is recommended if you want to park close.
Public Transit & Rideshare:
Both are great options, especially if you plan to enjoy a cocktail or two. Carpooling with friends is always encouraged.
Make a Weekend of It
Why let the fun end after one day?
Join us on Saturday for an optional, casual fabric shopping adventure before Frocktails on Sunday!
We'll meet at Michael Levine's at 10:00 AM, explore a few favorite local fabric and trim shops, grab lunch together, then finish the day at Mood Fabrics around 3:00 PM.
Come for the whole day or just one stop... it's completely up to you. No registration, no pressure, just a fun excuse to shop, sew, and spend time with fellow fabric enthusiasts before the main event.
