This looks great, even better IRL! This is on my list as well. I didn't realize this top had back darts!! That will be a new one for me! Another great job.

Two great pieces that look good and appear to be very comfortable to wear.

Erica - that top is so you! And for it to be fall, you still have an awful lot of green showing in the background! Around me everything is gold, orange and red...gotta love those fall colors! I can see you making these pieces in all black and adding some fab jewelry...so will you make it again?

Very cute outfit, thanks for the link to the pattern. I am liking the top alot, another pattern for my list.
Lori | Homepage | 10.24.07 - 11:27 pm | #

Cute outfit. I really like the comfort of the pants. The top looks interesting and probably would feel good with long sleeves. Another winning outfit - Congrats!

Erica, great top! My pattern arrived in the mail about an hour ago so your review is very timely. I want to sew the top and skirt so I'm glad to read the positive review.

Great video too!!

It's a gorgeous outfit - I'm in love with that top!
Stacy | Homepage | 10.25.07 - 8:50 am | #

I love this! I would never have chosen that pattern in the catalog - the fabric you choose really brings it to a high fashion level. Gorgeous!
Sharon | Homepage | 10.25.07 - 8:52 am | #

Beautiful outfit! I really love the fabric for the top! I have several animal prints in my stash. You guys were having a ball in Hancocks! Great video!
Jackie | Homepage | 10.25.07 - 9:27 am | #

That looks great. I just finished this about 3 weeks ago in a black and white knit. I really liked this pattern as well. Very easy to put together. (Not like my collar situation!) Once again you gave me some inspiration on fabric choice!

Funny. Of course your glasses have to be fashionably fabulous too. lolol So did you buy the purple fabric?
Lashell | Homepage | 10.25.07 - 11:47 am | #

Loved your video. I'm looking forward to seeing the Chanel come to life. If you guys wanted to make a day trip, I would recommend you go to Mary Jo's in Gastonia, NC. It's probably a 3-4 hour trip from where you are. You can see it from 85. They have everything! Even with the ability to go to NYC any day of the week, I wouldn't miss the chance to go to Mary Jo's if I could.
Sheri | 10.25.07 - 12:08 pm | #

Okay E, I was watching Adriennes Video..LOL before I got to you this morning and I kept thinking to myself..."I know she made her outfit" I wonder what pattern she used ...lol and then I click on your blog and there it is!!!! girl you crack me up!
Mimi | Homepage | 10.25.07 - 12:54 pm | #

Great outfit - I've added the pattern to my "look for" list. *Loved* the video! Y'all are a hoot! So nice to see you in action, and do tell if you got that purple fabric.
Mary | Homepage | 10.25.07 - 1:00 pm | #

Erica - I am LOVING this outfit. I'm all about knits right now myself and this was the "wardrobe" pattern I chose for my post-pregnancy SWAP. I'm really happy that I can see what it looks like on a REAL woman. Absolutely STUNNING!! I can't wait to make it up myself!!
Jamie | Homepage | 10.25.07 - 1:29 pm | #

You look fab in your new outfit! Now I want to make a wrap blouse. You've just made the idea jump up a few notches on my projects list.

And you look great with glasses... Seriously... You look great all the time! You're a great inspiration.

How nice it must be to have a friend to sew with. I went to Hanckocks by meself today(how sad). I am 29 and nobody wishes tos sew with me. So, I am self taught (and I have become addicated to several blogs)!
NurseByrd | 10.25.07 - 7:11 pm | #

The video was great! It must be great to have a girlfriend who sews! My girlfriends crochet and dance -- I'm the only one who sews.

tlove | 10.26.07 - 8:26 am | #

I'm going to have to try that pattern. I like Butterick patterns. It looks great on you, and you are right, it's the choice of fabric. Very classy. LOVE the video. How fun! Makes me miss fabric shopping.

Eric B,
This is a great outfit. My question to you is"how do you find the time to make such lovely outfits?" Your clothing always looks tailored, as opposed to homemade.
Toni39 | 10.27.07 - 9:42 am | #

Erica, I too have to rave about that top. You inspire me yet again. Fun video!
Cherie | 10.28.07 - 3:10 pm | #

GREAT outfit. You did an amazing job as usual. The video was a hoot. You look so sophisticated in the glasses.
Susan | 10.28.07 - 6:06 pm | #

Of every gorgeous, smart picture on the blog, this is my all-time favorite! The clothes are perfection, the pose looks like a super-model, and the angle is brilliant. You should frame this one, Erika. Outstanding.
Meg | Homepage | 10.31.07 - 8:29 am | #

I Loved the video, you two are too funny together! You all should hit up all the fabric stores! Happy sewing!
