McCall's 5523 - Again

Here is the review of the first skirt and here is the blogpost from the first skirt.

Here is a highlight - I made a different view using fabric from Joann's,  a suiting with a bit of stretch.

I found while taking some pictures, this must be my colors, as I have several garments to wear with this skirt.  You will be sick of pictures after seeing all of them on this blogpost.

Here it is with a blouse, take a close look at the matching of the plaid on the front piece and side front pieces.  warning: You aren't going to see that in the back

Here is the back - the top part is matched fine - but the inset, guess who forgot to match the plaids!  Then not enough fabric to recut.

I decided to use some piping around the inset.  I am not sure if it is better or worse but I am sure I am leaving it. 

 Close-up of piping, and I see a thread I forgot to trim.

 then a cowl sweater that looks pretty good.

 Then my cardi-wrap and tshirt:

 Next a sweater

 the tshirt only with the skirt.  BTW, the skirt fits me much better, my dressform does not have a waist adjustment.  My waist is not this small, darn the luck :)

this might be my favorite, with the long sweater vest

Now to get past the inset non-matching issue and wear this skirt.

This isn't all the possibilities either, look what came today:

My fabric.com order and I really must be hooked on these colors!
