The black dress is purchased from Target. She's just teasing me - she had a great day and smiled a lot! Mimi felt like a princess in her giant, voluminous flannel skirt and satin blouse.
On actual SWAP sewing, I finally put together the final suiting skirt, that matches the jacket. For some reason (stretchy fabric? Cutting error?) I had to take it in a ton at the side seams, by about 1/2 an inch uniformly all the way to the hem on each side. But it seems to have turned out okay otherwise. I need to stitch the lining to the zipper and hem it. I worked on it about half an hour tonight and had some extra time, but decided to stop before I got tired and started making mistakes.
Notes - I serged all pieces since the lining and suiting fabric were both very fray-able. The suiting fabric was quite stretchy - perhaps that is why my sizing was so off.
