From Paradise Patterns:
The Honeygirl Lounge Set is a collaboration with Lyrical Fabrics, designed specifically for cotton pointelles and rib knits without spandex. This feminine set thoughtfully pairs a fitted camisole top with a relaxed elastic-waist bottom for a stylish and comfy look. Inspired by the cute camisoles we wore as children, View A top has a precious ruched detailing by the bust. View B has a classic scoop neck. Both views are fitted throughout, with both cropped and hip length hems. The relaxed bottom sits at your natural waist and has a gathered waistband with lots of ease for extra comfort. The shorts have a slightly curved tulip hem while the long pants have a straight hem. Optional buttonholes are marked if you opt to add a waist tie. When putting on your finished Honeygirl set for the first time, the fabric will take some time to relax to the intended fit—usually about an hour.
Recommended Fabrics: The camisole is fitted and designed for low recovery knits. The best examples are pointelle knits, cotton double knits, and rib knits with less than 4% spandex content. It will not work well with high spandex knits. Because the bottoms are quite relaxed, they can be made with many lightweight fabrics with good drape, in both knits and wovens. You can make the bottoms in cotton jerseys, cotton voile, viscose, and silk under 6 oz/sq yard or 205 GSM.
