Loose Top vs Curly Top

While hubby was enjoying the car show, I was enjoying the venders. I picked up this piece of taupe sweater knit for $3. It was just enough for Butterick 5714 view C. It's loose fitting with elasticized seams and waist.


 Fabric Used: Taupe Sweater Knit and a metal clasp was used instead of a button.

 The directions were easy to follow. This is a very simple item to make. No alterations were made.


 Sizing: XS - XXL


  I was dressed for our small town's first Jazz Festival. This little sweater was just right for the weather, but the evening chill required a jacket. I've completed view B and C and like both. I do plan to complete items D & E. I highly recommend this pattern because each jacket can be made for casual or dressy wear.

Curly Top - I used Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Style Milk on damp hair with two-strand twists.

Silver Crinkle Skirt

Pattern: Simplicity 2516 flounce skirt view E
 
Sizes: 8-24
Fabric: Silver Crinkle Polyester with polyester lining
Alterations: Added lining
Simplicity Misses Skirts 2516
The addition of the lining really gives this lightweight fabric a nice weight.
 
 
Maybe you remember this jacket which was worn with the royal blue dress. Well, now I have a complete outfit.

Yes, I'm loving this outfit. Of course the slanted cut of the sleeves are awesome. I can see adding several of these skirts to my wardrobe. It will be easier getting in an SUV than straight cut skirts with no stretch and don't forget coverage when in a seated position.
