Help needed to find a skirt and jacket pattern please!

OK this is what I am looking for:

Easy pattern
Skirt and jacket together preferably (though will buy two patterns if necessary)
Petite
Full skirt (preferably wrap skirt but can't find ANY so may have to give up on that idea )
Interesting collar on jacket

I am making them in pale green wild silk (freebie!! ).

So far I have found this but the jacket is a bit boring. Quite like this jacket (centre one) but not sure if it will look right with a full skirt eg this one

Bit uninspired by what's on offer, but I'm not used to searching for patterns - anyone else any ideas? Have tried looking on habithat but the tiny pictures and crap search facilities drive me mad

Tis to wear to a wedding btw

Oh, also, I want to be able to wear the skirt afterwards everyday, and possibly the jacket with jeans, hence why I want a full skirt (don't wear straight ones, too constrictive!)

And also the third link, I meant the skirt in the middle

Hello you, have got that jacket pattern, tis quite nice. Show me what you have found, go on.... I care

Miaou · 14/04/2008 09:25

pah. Where were you lot yesterday?

OK, this is what I got:

(brace yourself - I don't do fashion)

ks3490 - third pic on page - and KS3108 (right hand side, 8 rows up from bottom - sorry can't link to individual pics. The jacket I will do with three buttons but without the pockets, the skirt I am doing the right hand one with the diagonal panels. Hope the jacket looks ok - my sewing isn't brilliant so I'm worried about getting the collar even. We shall see!

And shoes - I am in lurve with these

Fashion, what's fashion? I don't do fashion either, primarily because I'm short and petite so most fashion on me tends to look like I've dived into a dressing up box!
That jacket is lovely and not dissimiliar to the other one, what fabric are you going to use?

Miaou · 14/04/2008 22:31

I've got pale green wild silk

Will blog it at some point (not tonight though!)

OP posts:
Miaou · 14/04/2008 22:32

(PS I'm short and petite too and suffer the same fate! The skirt, though knee length in the picture, will be calf length on me when I make it (which is where I want it to be), and the sleeves are described as "7/8 length" - for which read "full length on shortarses" )

What did you say, pale green wild silk

Miaou · 17/04/2008 13:16

Well do you know what - I thought it was - but when I came to look at it again, it's not, it's 100% Polyester! - but you wouldn't know that looking at it, it even feels like silk. So am v. pleased with it!
