Finally Pictures of White Pencil Skirt/Jacket

Buttterick 4747 white poplin pencil skirt & OOP McCall's 8021 Jacket
 I finally wore both pieces and the skirt is a little shorter than I'd like for sitting on the front seat.
 Both pieces are fully lined.
 The skirt still has the folds as the picture with the dress with the tucks. That's because I don't like close fitting skirts/dresses. Below the front fits perfectly and the tighter the fit the shorter it is when in a seated position.
I didn't make the lined lace tank, but considering adding a thicker lining as it's thin at the mid section.

Soothing Shade of Green!



Mint green polyester crepe makes this an easy sew as well as a pleasure to wear. It's an old pattern, but I would love to have another with the half-cape. Of course, it'll be worn with a hat. It is a very easy pattern and the curves are not a problem in this fabric.
