Pink, purple and rainbow together... to much?

The red Autumn Flower Blazer is one of my favorite items I made for Eva and she were it to shreds with the sleeves ending 3/4 and the front button bursting open... It was a big hit. And the pink coat with navy piping I made later that year was again worn over and over again. So I keep meaning to trace a new size from the pattern an I finally did it - Ottobre 4/2013#18:

This time I used 104 witch is a bit to big on Eva right now but I figured we could use some room to grow into...

For the pants I wanted something with pleats in the front and decided to try a new pattern - Ottobre 1/2016 #16:

Is still match your shoes contest time and I picked some purple sneakers to use for Eva's entry and a purple girly fabric with the shoes shade to complete the outfit. I used a new size id one pattern I really loved making for Andrei a long time ago when he was even smaller then Eva is now for a Halloween top that is still in great shape and was worn a lot - Ottobre 6/2010 #15:

So now does the hot pink, dark putple and rainbow stripes actually work together ....

The weird thing is that I could not help myself use some rainbow stripes for top sleeves and binding and made leggings to in the striped fabric.I wanted to use the simple design from Ottobre 1/2016 #15, Slimleg leggings,  but the pattern doesn't exist on the page they listed. I was really annoyed until I realized the #30 is the same pattern if I don't do the scallop thing. It is the 1st big mistake I ever caught in Ottobre magazines:

I think the leggings work great with the top:

I started working on a wedding dress today for my sister in law. I have no idea if it will become a real thing but I am exited about it. And hunting for supplies for the dress I discovered a beautiful green stretch denim I could not resist so Sewing 25 - Shopping 30.

Pink coat with navy piping for Eva - Ottobre 4/2013#18:

I wanted to do a fall coat for Eva and I wanted to try out my new acquired skills from Carolyn Pajamas with piping a notched collar.  I picked up the already used pattern from Ottobre - the jersey jacket  4/2013 model #18:

   I rounded the collar's edges to go easier with the piping and lengthen the side and the back trying to create a high low coat. I also added a big pleat in the back and some other details. I replaced the front pockets with fake flaps. Now after looking at the pictures I think I need to add the 3rd button in the front.

The fabric is a really beautiful pink softshell melange. I absolutly loved this fabric description : "Softshell is a new generation fabric that is mostly used for extreme weather activities, but is more and more often used for wintertime fashionable line clothing. The melange effect is obtained by using threads of different shades while making the fabric Its parameters are as follows:Waterproofness - 10000 mm/H2O;Moisture permeability - 3000 g/m2/24hBreathable;Multylayered". It is indeed a marvelous fabric and really good quality as far as I can tell but I think is not a perfect match with my pattern. This design would have looked a lot better in wool I think. And maybe keep this fabric for a more sporty look. We will see next time. I still have some left and blue one as well for my son.

   I also made some navy stretch velvety pants and a scarf to complete Eva's look.
   She seemed to enjoy her new outfit yesterday in the park, even if she got fresh after rain dirt on it right away....
