For sewers, we make pieces we like, we enjoy wearing and then you produce pieces you love. These two pieces I love love love! they are comfortable, flattering, fashion forward and because I love separates, very functional.
The fabric used is a cotton woven in black and ivory from moodfabrics.com that has a raised texture that makes this simple silhouette a bit more special. The pants are lined with a stretch charmeuse for added comfort.
The pattern used for the top was vintage Butterick 5975 view A also seen here with alternate alterations. The changes to the pattern are as follows:
-Removed 7″ from the length of the bodice
-Added 10″ to the width of the ruffle
The pattern used for the pants was Burda Style 6981 view B with the following alterations:
-Removed the placket fly and added an invisible zipper fly
-Removed the cuff and added a 2″ ankle band
