I made this lovely short set I thought for my upcoming trip to Punta Cana in December to celebrate our 10th year of marriage/anniversary. I wanted cute little outfits I could wear poolside and in our room. When I first purchased this fabric, I wasn't in love with it and it sat in my stash for almost a year.
One day I typed in resort wear in Google to have example of what I wanted to wear, and all these beautiful floral garments popped on the screen. I knew immediately after that what I wanted to make with this fabric. Needles to say I posted the picture on Facebook, which I do with all my garments, and got several messages asking was I willing to sell it, yep I did just that. It's gone, and for more money than I could have imagined. I guess I will be making myself another. Though I am sure I will not find this fabric, I am sure I can find something close to it.
I used Simplicity 1377 for the shorts, and my beloved McCalls 6359 for the top. I am pleased how it turned out and glad that someone else will enjoy it as well.
Happy Sewing!
I just made this top yesterday in a Navy polka dot silk! I love it. Never thought to pair with shorts! I made pants. I guess shorts are next up! Thanks for the extra inspiration and glad it all worked out!
