I was in a "copy something rtw" mood today. Found a skort in my Land's End catalog, and a shirt in Mini Boden. Figured Kiera could use an outfit.

My first mistake was using KSFC for the skort. I used the KS shorts pattern, and went from there. White piping on the the pockets, and the fabric is french terry. But they're just not fitted enough (plus Kiera is so skinny) for the look I wanted (they really look huge). They actually look great on Chrissy, but a little tight in the thighs/hips.

The shirt is from Ottobre. I used velvet FOE on the neckline and folded in half on the seam. Also cut the sleeves to be cap sleeves (not sure if they're short enough though). It still needs hemming. But it's too tight in the neck on her :( My problem here was trying to avoid tracing the next size up pattern since she HAS grown since last Sept :rolleyes:

That lime with the white accent was an excellent choice! The good news is the Kiera will grow into it eventually.

And do those lime dots on the shirt match the lime in the skirt?

WOW what a wonderful outfit! I hope you have more dots so you don't have to pick that shirt apart :(

I have more of the dots (they do match!), so that shirt is probably going in the scrap bin. I don't think Kiera will EVER fit into the skort, lol. She's 37lbs at 7.5 yrs ;) I'll probably just take the pockets off and redo the rest once I find my actual skort pattern (that DOES fit her) Or I may just find someone it does fit, and redo the pockets too. Decisions... decisions...

I LOVE the piping on the skort! And those dots are too cool. Sorry they don't fit like you had hoped.

I was looking at your SnS and was thinking the same thing! You'd think they were sisters!

that stinks that they don't fit. :( i'd say marketboard -- it's such a cute outfit. would be a shame to tear it apart.
