I posted a while ago about the patterns I was using to sew things for myself this summer. Here are some pictures of the Simplicity 2599 top and the ruffle skirt.
As you can see, I made the top without the ruffles or neckline detail that come as an option with the pattern. I think the gorgeous Nani Iro gauze print speaks for itself and needs no further embellishment.
The skirt is made in a Kaffe Fassett shot cotton. It's my own design and is based on the ruffle skirt for girls pattern. Instead of three tiers, it has an extended a-line piece with two ruffles at the hem.
OK, now if only the weather gods would roll out the hot days so we can actually wear our summer clothes....?!
Great top and skirt!

Beautiful Marina. The colour of that skirt is perfect! Did you elasticize the waist of the skirt? It looks so lovely and flat.
