hi, im new in this community. i read read it alot, but never post, soo i guess im kind of a lurker. today ive got a question. i wanted to make a cute cherry skirt and top for summer. like the ones metamorphose carrys, but looking more like their lace tiered skirt. so ive got all these ideas and i dont know if they will work. if anyone want to share ideas, the rest is in the cut tag.
so i get some fabric, heres the best i could find. the stores are out so i got this off ebay. the yellow in it kind of throws me off a little. im not a very vellow type of person. but its so cute.
so what i wanted to do was add this big black ruffle to the bottom of the skirt, add the lace and whatnot. but when i pinned it together it looked like a square dance skirt. i think its all the bright colors.

am i better going with some white eyelet lace instead of the ruffle? i think that might look nice with the blossoms. i can also use black laces only, that might make the colors pop out less. or should i just go for the ruffle and lace and see if it looks better than i thought?
