I was needing something warm and comfortable to wear in our slightly cold winter in Queensland, Australia. Although I think our winter has been warmer than the summer in the UK at the moment.
Anyway, I made the boat neck tee shirt from Burda 2/2009 108A, which was very easy and a great fit for me. The pinafore is another Burda 9/2007 #121 and also very easy and a perfect fit.

What a lovely cooler weather outfit, comfortable and elegant too. I love a good stripy top!

Thanks so much Merche. I will wear this outfit quite a bit this winter because I am fed up with wearing pants all the time. I found some nice tights that match so I am quite snug for a Brisbane winter.

The stripes of your top remind me of a boat neck top I had, and loved, a long time ago. Boat necks are always elegant and chic. And the pinafore is perfect. Great outfit!
