I sewed up a muslin of the reissued Unique 8038UO and it looks just about perfect. The drafter pivoted the shoulder point forward and added back shoulder darts and a back seam for shaping at the neckline. I'm so excited to see it made up, even in a muslin.

The skirt will be Simplicity 5469. It'll look a lot more formal made up in the lavender with the sheer overskirt. If necessary I can add more flare below the knees. I won't have to alter my Sandra Betzine pencil skirt now--I was a little worried about the time it might take.
Now I am certain of the patterns for the top and skirt and can go fabric shopping.
My shoes arrived--they look great and are comfortable. They look very nice with the lavender sheer. When I held it up while wearing the shoes I made the decision to make my skirt ankle-length--that way my fat ankles won't distract from the pretty outfit.
And I want to make a matching purse like the fru-fru purse made by the Rusty Bobbin for her MoG dress. More purse info. This is from a recent Threads magazine.
And, of course, the dress for Sonnie.
