Amazing how something 12 years old can STILL be so relevant!  That's why Donna Karan has always been fabulous and known for knowing how to fit a "woman's" body and why her designs are timeless!
I needed something to wear out that would be appropriate for a nightclub atmosphere, but I wanted to still look chic and sophisticated.  I remembered that I had been saving this pattern for the right moment.  I don't know why I hadn't at least sewn the top.  I really think I was concentrating on the skirt so much that the entire pattern had fallen by the wayside.  And I really wanted a reason to pull out this great sequined pencil skirt.  
That's when I rethought this pattern for the top.  It paired perfectly with my skirt!
This was a simple project to make.  I made it the same day I planned to wear it.  The back and front are one solid pattern piece in which you are to cut two.  I sewed both pieces, right sides together.  Then I sewed the side seams with the serger.  Voila!  I was done!  See, simple!
Wearing:  Skirt:  ASOS Sequined Pencil Skirt (last seen here); shoes:  Zara; belt:  Kenneth Jay Lane (similar to this); purse:  Urban Expressions.

    Absolutely fantastic. Absolutely love the skirt and sounds like it would be easier enough for even me to make if it wasn't OOP lol.

    Lovely BLING...it's amazing how fashion recycles itself (12 yrs pattern)...good thing you held onto it. Erica may I ask, what kind of knit your fabric is? Thanks!
