The Vivienne skirt has been one of our best sellers since it's introduction! To make this Violette Field Threads classic even better, we have decided to add to this popular pattern. We are excited to announce that we will *now* be offering our favorite pairing piece, the adorable blouse shown below, with the Vivienne skirt to make one complete outfit!
....................................................................................................
This sweet blouse features a delicate ruffle around the center gathered neckline.  The blouse is loosely fitted, with the sleeves and bottom of the blouse cinched in with shirring.  The shirring makes this blouse sweet tucked in, or left out. The back is buttoned up with a sweet row of 6-8 buttons.

This blouse is beautiful in satin (as shown above), silk, cotton, even a sheer fabric (with an undershirt, of course) would be DARLING!

Here are a few photos of the *new* Vivienne complete outfit...

.............................................................................................................

*Each Vivienne outfit set was sewn a little differently*

.............................................................................................................

For this Vivienne Skirt, we used ruffle fabric rather than creating our own ruffles. It is sewn up in one of all time favorite fabric lines; Out to Sea by Sarah Jane for Michael Miller Fabrics. Using ruffle fabric for the underskirt made this a SUPER quick sew!

 

   

....................................................................................

For this next Vivienne outfit, we layered pre-made lace ruffles onto the underskirt instead of using fabric ruffles! They weren't as thick as our normal ruffles, so we had to use 6 rows instead of the usual 3-4.  But, since they were pre-made, it was super quick!  The Vivienne over skirt is sewn out of Pearl Bracelet by Lizzy House for Andover and it pairs perfectly with the Vivienne blouse sewn out of Hope Chest by Josephine Kimberling for Blend Fabrics.

 

These photos were taken just a few days ago... It's finally Spring here! Hooray!

 

 

We styled this Vivenne outfit with our *new* lace-top leg warmers!
Stay tuned for a FREE tutorial post on how to make this darling accessory...

Finally, the below Vivienne outfit was made with the classic triple ruffles sewn onto the underskirt. This sweet set is sewn up in Cotton Couture by Michael Miller Fabrics and the amazing print is Splendor 1920 by Bari J. for Art Gallery Fabrics.
