The Perfect Pair features a one-of-a-kind reversible skirt with two distinct looks plus a unique knit top that will become a wardrobe favorite. The View 1 top has short sleeves and a horizontal hem. The View 2 top has three quarter length sleeves with a diagonally angled hem that matches the Side 2 skirt. The Side 1 skirt is a long straight skirt with an attractive flounce attached to the lower edge. The Side 2 skirt has a diagonal flounce overskirt that falls over the reverse of the Side 1 skirt. A flip pocket hangs from the waist to be worn inside either side of the skirt and is large enough for a passport. There is an optional pocket that can be worn inside your bra for your emergency money stash.
All sizes (XS-3XL) included in pattern!
