Improved Day to Night Cabbie

 I really did not want to make another outfit like this because the last one took me so long. But, driven by perfectionism, I felt it really needed to be improved. This version took about half the time as the original, with notable improvements including replacing tulle with chiffon in the skirt and using sew-on snaps instead of working buttons.  Now I just need to finish writing up the pattern and get it published, yet I’m contemplating making an outfit with twill fabric rather than velvet to see if it’s much easier to work with.
