I bought some silver/grey/blue knit at Gail K's to make a skirt to match a purchased bustier. It's not the greatest match in the world when you put it in different light, because the bustier is a cross dyed silk. I'll probably wear it anyway, but I had enough knit to also make a simple ballet neck top. I'm saying very little about the skirt, but I am pretty pleased that I drafted the pattern myself and it looks good: a six gored skirt with godets, so it will dance very well! The main focus of this post is on the neckline of the top. I have struggled so much with necklines that I am frustrated with them. I began the top with my TNT pattern from Christine Jonson, added the ballet neckline from Pamela's Patterns and stabilized the neckline with silk organza and lots of careful pressing. I hope to wear it tomorrow night to a dance and will try to get pictures of it on me from the new BF...
