Matchy McMatcherson

yellow mushroom skirt and top 2

Do not be fooled by the appearance of a dress.

It's actually separates!  Which is good for us as we've mislayed the brown leggings we'd normally pair with this top.

As all previous tennis skirts have been made from cotton / lycra jerseys, I wanted to show how using an interlock gives the skirt a slightly different shape.  Without the added lycra that lends the jersey extra weight, the interlock drapes into gentle folds rather than holding the a-line shape.

  1. Cute! I might be greedy now and make a skirt and top from little red, rather than two skirts (one to give away). I was afraid it would be too matchy but a faux dress in these prints looks cute!
