Also, there are some changes that I've made to my sewing plan:
1.I tried on a high-wasied skirt by Rebecca Taylor.
http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2991910?Category=&Search=True&SearchType=keywordsearch&keyword=rebecca+taylor+in+All+Categories&origin=searchresults Fitted me like a glove and I fell in love with it. Unfortunately, it had linen in it and that was the part I was not so fond of. Also, I thought that I could make something of comparable quality for 1/5th of the price. So, I will be making Vogue 8425, view A. (the blue skirt).

2. I have been wanting to try a slouchy pant for about 2 years. Also, for about the same amount of time I have been fancying plaid. So, I decided to blend my two fancies into a plaid wide leg slouchy pant and I have a great fabric for it! I'd be using the Vogue pattern below and perhaps would incorporate the backpocket treatment of the DVF pants to the right.
3. Lastly, but not leastly, I need a piece of advice. I have been contemplating on making high-waisted trousers. I am not sure if they will work on me and it has also been hard to find an inspiration piece. These are the two I’ve come upon:
The first is by Nanette Lepore and the second by Burberry. Do you think it is worth trying? Which do you think would work best, or have you stumbled on a good pair of high-waisted tailored pants you can refer me to? Or maybe I should stick just with the high-waisted skirt?
I will be reviewing the Burda blouson and the Marni coat shortly.
