This is a relaxed and summery take on the classical costume. The boxy jacket and A-line skirt are comfortable to wear and straightforward to sew. The very special thing about this design are the crocheted lace insertions in the jacket and the skirt. 

The lace insertions are easy to crochet. The pattern looks more complicated than it really is. It consists of double crochet and trebles. Even if your main craft is knitting and you seldom crochet, you can make this. The insertions are a good project for hot summer days when it is just to warm to knit. And they are a nice portable project for crafting outside. It is fun and surprisingly easy to sew them onto the fabric by machine. It is quite special to sew "fabric" that you have made with your own hands.
