Once I got going with these combinations, I started looking for matching buttons. It was so fun to find buttons that would complement the fabric choices. Here are some of the combinations I came up with.
I made this dress with the blouse with an elongated skirt. I added a waistband and straps to make it look like it's a jumper over a blouse, but it's all one dress. I love how this turned out. To get here, I went through the following tries first.
I thought I'd make 3/4 sleeves with this elongated bodice dress. Look at the cute lace I found! I used it at the button band and sleeves. I didn't have very much of it. I used matching yellow buttons down the button band. I love how it turned out.
I made a blouse like with the jumpers and added a contrasting skirt to make it look like separates. This has long sleeves and lace at the button band, sleeves and collar. A wider lace embellishes the hem. I thought it looked funny without a waistband on the skirt.
I made this one next, adding a waistband. This one has short sleeves, but the same formula as above. Although I didn't need to add lace at the hem to make it longer.
