The hardest thing for me in this comp will be those pants. I want to do them with an invisible zip. Only problem is that pattern has the zip at the back. I don't know how easy it will be to change that but we shall see.
I found the black wool crepe skirt and it fitted me easily. No wonder as I had made size 22! I've since donated it to my mother as I found it a little short for me due to the fabric not being wide enough last time. I will be making a smaller size this time and the pattern should fit easily on the fabric so I shouldn't have that problem again (fingers crossed). The other thing I did last night was test the shrinkage of the red wool. A 1.5" square shrunk in reasonably warm/hot water 1/2" in width only. But it didn't shrink in lukewarm or cool water so I will pre-wash it & hope for the best. I don't do dry-cleaning!

I like your plan. Where do you want to put the zip? It is not a problem to move.
All my invisible zips in my pants are at centre back and I have had no problems.
Look nice! Invisible zip in the centre back is quite good as it lets you take in the side seams without messing with the zip again.
I do like your plan! Going to Pallyup souds like heaps of fun!
It looks great - and you use some of your brand new fabric too- fun! Cheers! Evelyn
