here is the blouse (new look 6705) in white-on-white striped lino. i love the square yoke and the feel of the lino though it is a bit on the thin side. great for summer though. this blouse has a nice tie across the back which helps give it a bit of shape and fit while still being loose and blouse-y.
the pencil skirt is simplicity 4087 with a shaped waistband and small pleats on either side of the center front seam. i did it in a dark denim with a heavy gold thread for the running stitch detail.

Found your blog by clicking on next blog. I like both of your outfits & it's much better than I could ever do.
welcome to the blog world!!!!
That dress is freaking adorable. seriously.
thanks! it was super-easy too. center back seam and two side seams, front and back darts for fitting. and even though the sleeves are set-on, they're slightly gathered at the top, so there's no ease to control. even the inset piping in the collar was surprisingly easy. hooray for easy fun sewing!
