I feel like this might have been the first project in years where I planned appropriately for the timeline that I had. With the last bit of summer heat, I wanted to make a cute little set that I could layer with as it got colder. So, here's to a button-up tank and a really floofy skirt.
I have made a version of this tank before and it has become a staple in my wardrobe. So having more was an absolute necessity. The pattern is inspired by Edwardian corset covers. I used the pattern from my Medieval Cotehardie back in March as a base. It wasn't the best pattern to use because of the angle of the straps. But it worked for this project.
The skirt was inspired by my new obsession for tiered skirts. While this isn't a style that I have historically loved, I have recently started a Pinterest board to help me figure out what I want to transition to wardrobe-wise and realized that almost all of the skirts had some form of ruffles or gathers. Plus, this is an excellent way to get really full skirts, and who doesn't love a full, swishy skirt?
I am excited to incorporate this outfit into my wardrobe and see how I style it in the future. Make sure to watch the video to see how it's all made!
