First stab at 1950s sewing

I have been a long time 40s, 50s, and 60s vintage wearer but I usually sew early 20th century and earlier. My Dad’s car club has a show every February and thought it would be a good time to give it a stab. I made a new look inspired top and circle skirt and wore an amazing vintage vintage petticoat underneath.
