I made that reconstructed outfit for my youngest so I had to pull something out of the cabinet to make for my eldest daughter -- I got this fabric a long time ago (with you Tracy) at Walmart and it took about 3/4 yard of each fabric and about 3/4 yard for the lining on the top
I created it using New Look 6695 - alterations are that I used size 7 for the top but cut the length off at the size 3 mark and I used a full lining instead of facing. Also added a ruffle to the bottom of the capris -- she LOVES it...

Oh, yeah! I remember that fabric! I love the contrast of the two. Great job! ~Tracy
I did your method of lining it and not having to topstitch the hem -- it was EZ!
Does it need something on the top?
Oh, good! I think lining it just shoves the whole outfit into the genuine "boutique" category!
I see what you mean about the top... could you add a couple of pockets? It really looks great the way it is... it just needs something little to really tie it together. ~Tracy
I am totally putting striped pockets on it!!! That is the missing thing -- I just kept looking at thinking how I could bring them together a little better and hadn't thought of that...I'll post the results!
