Great Job! My husband bought me a dress form and I tried piecing/draping on my own..and ended up making two summer tops! I love it! I think I will look into your book suggestion, however, to learn even more! I've sewn for about 20years and I am still not a pro yet at the invisible zipper! Great job! I look forward to more!

This book arrived with me yesterday and I read it in one sitting and can't wait to get started...but I'm now feeling a little daunted reading about your later problem with the buttons...what a shame - it looks so beautifully finished on the inside...and I still don't understand quite what you did wrong with them! x I love this skirt and the button details.
