Simplicity 2599: Polka Dot Top with Modifications

I've made Simplicity 2599 before, so this time I decided to change things up by eliminating the ruffle completely and adding a sleeve.  I also changed the closure on the back - instead of a simple loop and button, I added half an inch to the center back to create a facing and plotted out spacing for ten buttons.

I'm also wearing my Burberry sunglasses and Christian Siriano stilettos.

Vogue V8882: Hi-Low Skirt in Floral

This was a fun pattern to make.  But you just have to have lots of room to cut it out - it wouldn't fit on my cutting table, so I had to lay the fabric out on the floor in my front foyer. 

It was pretty quick too.  Again, cutting the pattern out was the most time consuming part, as well as hemming the skirt.

I would make this pattern again, but I would probably try one of the other views - I made view F, which is the hi-low silhouette.
