Over on the Stitcher's Guild Sewing forum, there are many opportunities to sew a coordinating wardrobe along with other members. This month and next, I will be working on a winter 6PAC, a small capsule wardrobe. I am using this 6PAC to work on altering some new patterns, which I will then use in my larger wardrobe project, the SWAP. SWAP stands for sewing with a plan, and that one includes 11 pieces. I will discuss that plan in a future post.
Here is the planning board I made over on Corkulous (a really nice app). I will add photos of some of the fabrics I plan on using when I get a chance. At the moment, my 6PAC shows 7 pieces- I have a feeling the fitted pants will be slashed from the plan very soon.
Since I am testing out the patterns, I don't want to buy too many fabrics for this, so my capsule might not be as coordinated as I would like, but everything should at least go with something I already own, so there will be no orphans.

Maggie, I love that idea!
Always have wanted to sew a coordinating wardrobe but usually quit after trying to work on a pattern that needed too much modification.
Are some of the pieces Connie Crawford designs? She is great for plus sized women.
Good luck! Can't wait to see the fabrics.
