Can you share which pattern you used for the crop top? I have been looking for that everywhere. I don't see it on Marfy or Vogue. I could have missed Marfy though.
Yes I’m happy to! The crop top is Very Easy Vogue 8808 (still in print). All I did was utilize the top of the pattern and the fabric for the top is a rayon poly lycra twill with some stretch because I needed a stabile base fabric for the heavy embellishment. I did not use the skirt from 8808 (but one could certainly) and instead made a simple and narrow A-line floor length 2 piece skirt from black ITY knit with a waistband in the same RPL as the crop top. The back of the top has a keyhole opening secured with 2 sets of hooks/eyes instead of a back zipper – my daughter asked for that but I think the crop top with a zipper would look good too.
Love both gowns! Great job!
