Grey & Yellow Suit and Ribbed Cotton Top

I have a dear friend whose mother was a professional seamstress. Last year, she retired and was so kind as to donate some fabrics (the ones I chose) to me. This is one of those fabrics. It is a viscose-polyester blend, but I am not entirely sure. 

I immediately envisioned a suit, so I decided to make a double-breasted jacket and some straight pants. She also gave me some yellow fabric, and I made a sleeveless blouse with it, but the fabric was so tight that I had to make it too short, and it ended up in the bin. 

The pattern of the jacket is from Burda Style magazine. It hangs handsomely, but I do not like the buttons' positioning, so it is not a keeper, I think. 

For the trousers, I used the pattern from this book I have, for the nth time, perfect again. 

I finished the suit in June, and I could not wear it then, because it was too hot when I finally finished it. Last October, when I tried it on, I got inspired and made this sleeveless top from the same book, with a ribbed organic cotton I've had for ages. It goes very well with my suit, it makes it modern and casual, I love it, and prefer it to a blouse.
