Vogue 8599

Got this pattern in ebay for $6. My only concern is all the gathering and how poofy it's going to end up being on top. The skirt can be gathered or pleated. I think the pleats will ultimately be more flattering. I should get it today. I'm excited to do a mock up and see how it looks.

Also watching this:

Love this blouse with the sash at the waist. I have some sheer green and white silk that I hope will work. I only have 2 yards so it should be just enough.
