Modifying the pattern slightly, I used black stretch denim with an extra wide strip of black elastic for the waistline and two layers of pink and black netting for the skirt. I added a pink rose applique onto the front center of the skirt.  Pink gingham top matched the lining of the black vest pink satin rope for the lacing and I pinned two TEXAS hat pins on the vest in honor of my son in law, who is currently in Afghanistan (and is from TX). The hat and boots complete the look!
