Thanks to Jennifer Paganelli for sending me this sewing pattern to try out and share with you all!
One thing I forgot to mention in the video is the addition of the ruffle hem on the blue/pink floral dress. All I did was cut out 2 strips of fabric - 6.5 inches x WOF, sewed the short ends together to form a loop, folded it in half wrong sides together, gathered it to fit the dress hem and used my sewing machine and serger to attach.
The reasoning behind this was that I'd ordered 2 yards of the Hotel Frederiksted fabric, but Fabric.com only had two separate one-yard cuts. (On the upside, I was only charged for one yard) I did not have enough fabric to cut the skirt longer, but DID have enough for the ruffle hem.

Grocery store, errands, PTA, cocktail party, speaking engagement….this is THE go-to closet item. The flattering notched neckline and dropped waistband can be made with matching or contrasting prints. Imagine the Sis Boom fabric choices that take this one from prepster college girl to sophisticated city girl.

The semi-fitted skirt and princess bodice can be made from a combination of sizes to get a cut that is perfect for your proportions.
