Oh, those are wonderful — a bit of neutral really makes the bright colors pop, doesn’t it? Some folks are so great at mixing up patterns (like Nele), but when I get inspired and try it myself I think each pattern gets a bit lost in the others.

I like contrast belt idea, and I think teal sounds amazing!
I, personally, would have just the belt as contrast and have neutral buttons, black, bone or leather. Consider a buckle rather then a tie. I made one for Tildy with a vintage buckle Karen sent me https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/9689562427/in/set-72157632815351345

I love all those color pairings!
I wish I could find more of the mustard Lisette twill but even a search through etsy and ebay didn’t turn any up. I suppose I could look at my local fabric store for a Kona cotton in the same color since I have enough of the twill for everything but the belt and facings.
I’m doing my best to only use stash…[Read more]

There really aren’t many images to be found! Here were a few I found, not sure if you’ve seen these already:

I think it could be really cute with the tie and buttons pulling the look together, or even like Sarvi’s last example with piping.
*If* you like bold colors (you know I do!), my favorite pairing with mustard is raspberry, though this is more hot pink than raspberry: https://www.flickr.com/photos/52761227@N04/9974306704/in/set-72157630670704608/

Glad you’re feeling more confident! The patterns really are so darling, and there can be so many different kinds of looks. Have a peep at the flickr pool if you haven’t already — one tip: you can search within the group for the name of a specific pattern, and you can not only see how your ideas might look (“What if I did a dark bodice and light…[Read more]
