Finally the gray jumper and blouse are to my satisfaction (they've morphed a couple of times!). The jumper is lined with a cotton stripe in the bodice and a pale gray silky fabric in the skirt. I know the gray for the jumper seems a little blah, but I wanted the top stitching to make a statement.
Because the jumper seemed a little too full for a six month old baby, I added ties to the back so the dress can be pulled in some.
The blouse fabric is a 30's or 40's reprint fabric (maybe flour sack inspired?). The combination of gray and floral was inspired by some Japanese clothing books that I had browsed at Mitsuwa. Someday, I hope to acquire a couple of them for my very own!
