Simplicity 8644 is a cropped wrap top. On the pattern envelope, the top is visible short and it looks tight across the small busted model. I knew immediately that I needed to make alterations the pattern. I lengthened it by one inch and made a one inch FBA. I wanted to make sure it crossed over at the center front and sure that it stopped at the natural waist. The fabric is a black rayon crepe that I've had for a while.

Styling tip:  Full skirts look elegant and Carolina Herrera-Chic when paired with a crisp, classic white button down shirt.  And what else would I punctuate the look with but a pair of classic lady-like single sole pumps in bright white.
