Notes	Last winter my friend got married and asked me to be her maid of honour! The pieces came together perfectly, everything matched just fine. I did have to lower the armhole. Potentially because I added a full sleeve? I used pattern 5371 for this. I have no picture of it but it fits really nice on the back too! I had left the centre bottom longer and made it into a bodysuit. Only finished the blouse with a normal hem after the wedding. This in combination with the shoulder pads did put some stress on the fabric, as I'm more aware of in hindsight ... Nevertheless it was comfortable! The skirt is just a waistband with folds pinned onto it. Can you tell I found the fabric in the carnival section? ;) And yes, she said yes!
