The top is Vogue 2971. I should have known that it would bug me because it is off the shoulder. I have since added a tuck in the neckline. (I haven't tried it on yet, so don't know if the tuck solved the problem).

The skirt is inspired by Mimi G's maxi skirt. I used an old pattern Simplicity 5235. The pattern was too small, so I cut it out about three inches from the fold. I cut two fronts and placed the zipper on the side. I also cut an underlining because the fabric was so flimsy. The fabric is still pooling a bit at the hem, but I don't think you can tell.

I received quite a few compliments on this outfit and I feel comfortable wearing it, life is good!
