Here are two more FOs to share. The first is my Jackie-O inspired dress. I love how the shaping is on this one. I used a 1960s retro reprint pattern from Simplicity (3833). The fabric is a heavy cotton that I picked up at Ikea. I wore it to church with a white cardigan and my hair swept up and felt fabulous. I believe I made a size 14 and did a mini-FBA on this one. I could have probably gone a tad bit bigger on my bust alteration, but am sure it will be fine once
30 minutes before going to church, I also decided to sew these Simplicity pants that I cut out the night before. I am in love with them! I went to Yardage Town to find a white seersucker fabric to make a second pair, but came back empty handed. This is one of Simplicity's 1-hour patterns. It is for pants and shorts. I made the medium and omitted the drawstring.
The pants are pajama comfy, but pack a nice punch for style. The fact that two people told me that I looked really skinny in them - BONUS! Yes, that might be the reason for wanting a few more pairs....lol. Actually, I was reading about silky pants being a fall trend. I am all for it! Here's a link to a pair I saw on Net-a-Porter.

Love the dress! Perfect placement of the sunburst on front!
Two great looks. That dress is pretty. The bold yellow is pretty against your skin. The silky pants are "chicy" cute. I must make a pair. Thanks for the inspiration.
