Sew: Butterick 3597 Pencil Skirt



The completion of Butterick 3597 in the remaining blueberry ponti creates the "Peplum Dress" that I was after. The top is Vogue 8815 that I made a few weeks ago. I thought that separates would be more versatile as I can wear the individual items separately. I plan on making a black top to go with the blue skirt and I wear the blue peplum with a black pair of capri pants with wedge heels.

This ponti is a dream to sew with. It is beautiful and soft. Plus I adore the colour. I'd love some orange ponti.



Project Details
Pattern: Butterick 3597
Fabric: Blueberry Ponti from Tessuti Fabrics
Alterations: tapered skirt in for a more pencil skirt effect, added a lining



 
I am slowly pulling my work wardrobe together.

  7. Hello! Not sure if I've commented before but I've been reading for a while.
    Love the outfit. Nice colour too, and suits you beautifully. And I've seen/felt some ponti in the local Spotlight and it is divine fabric. Mmmmm!

  8. THis is exactly how I imagine the wearing of a peplum - with a slim line skirt - your new outfit looks great for your work - professional and comfy .
