We gave our Margarete Top the black and white theme, to really bring out the contrast in between the piping and the white lace. We ended up finishing it with another black sash around the hem, simply a ribbon stitched to the bottom of the top. The ribbons can be closed in a big bow right over the bottom of the zipper.

Is there a pattern for that skirt? It’s got a nice shape and looks like a quick weekend project.

That looks so comfortable, and great for layering under jackets come Fall…

we added the ribbon on the bottom ourselves, it’s not in the pattern, but we felt it would dress it up and make the black piping pop more…

So the ribbon is part of the top? Wow! That’s really classy…
