Clasic black outfit - lekala blouse with a bow #4452 & pencil skirt with flounce in the back #S3002

The Lekala journey continues... After sewing successful with knits I got the courage to try some of their patterns in woven fabrics. I picked up a pencil skirt with flounce in the back and blouse with a bow. The pencil skirts are not what I wear at all but I always love to look at them so I thought I should bring one in my wardrobe thinking maybe I would wear it if it turns out nice and if is made by myself. I always push myself to wear what I sew. I don't think pencil skirts look bad on me but I just feel they are too elegant for most of the occasions and usually even if I wear I skirt I prefer the comfort of a full one. - Lekala S3002

The top is rather simple with the collar and a bow to give it some magic. - Lekala 4452:

   For the 1st skirt I used a stretch satin cotton fabric and it seems it was too much for the non stretch pattern I had at hand. So the end result would not sit well on me and it would seem 1 or 2 numbers too big. The skirt ended up fitting my mother perfectly so it was not a disaster. In that light I slimmed the skirt down a bit more ( a bit on the center and a bit on the sides ) and sewed it in a suiting rayon-lycra blend that had as well some decent stretch to it. I think it ended being a bit too tight on me this time but it will work. I also separated a band at the top of the skirt to fit the facing and added it separately to the skirt for more stability. My skirt also has extra "flounce" - instead of cutting the lower back on the fold I kept the upper point on the fold and rotated the pattern a bit then cut to include the extra fabric.
   With my mind on Lekala patterns being with to much ease I lied a bit about my sizes with the top and It is just a bit to tight. If I would have added the actual sizes for this top and fabric I think the fit would have been perfect. I am still learning how to work the system.

   The skirt goes well with the last lekala tee:

I will update here with the 1st draft of the skirt that stretch a bit to much that ended up to be for my mom. I love how it goes on her. what a lucky incident:
