My favorite cousin is attending a wedding
and she is the least person to go shopping for anything. So when she came
to me for an outfit for her friend’s wedding, I was more than eager to oblige.
Her style is simple but elegant. She doesn't do a lot of out the
box or trendy styles, she's comfortable when she can move and enjoy herself with
as less fuss as humanly possible.
I had her go
through my hundreds of patterns to find something that she would like. We
picked out several but finally we both decided that this particular pattern
would give her everything she wanted. This pattern is actually a jumpsuit, but she doesn't do jumpsuits so I modified it to make it two piece set.

The jacket is made of a really pretty
stretch lace fabric from Joanns. The body of the garment is a
metallic/Silver performance knit. The only modifications I made were to
lengthen the top a few inches and add an inch to the top of the pants to account
for waistband, since this is a jumpsuit pattern to make it a just a top and
pantsuit.
This pattern has actually been on my list to make for myself for awhile.
I just had never gotten around to it. I love the different pant styles
and I will do a jumpsuit in a heartbeat for mself. I'm still going to make it for
myself one day soon.
Happy Sewing?
