This is OOP Vogue 2540 from the Donna Karan Collection - Spring 2000.

Amazing how something 12 years old can STILL be so relevant!  That's why Donna Karan has always been fabulous and known for knowing how to fit a "woman's" body and why her designs are timeless!

I needed something to wear out that would be appropriate for a nightclub atmosphere, but I wanted to still look chic and sophisticated.  I remembered that I had been saving this pattern for the right moment.  I don't know why I hadn't at least sewn the top.  I really think I was concentrating on the skirt so much that the entire pattern had fallen by the wayside.  And I really wanted a reason to pull out this great sequined pencil skirt.  

That's when I rethought this pattern for the top.  It paired perfectly with my skirt!
