That's it on me!


This sweater was once a big sort of long cardigan. I cut an empire seam, easily following the stripe and i turned the front to the back. I had to make two bust pleats at the front bodice and two tucks in the upper back.
In order to fit the back i made princess seams from the empire to the hem.
The center front has a stitchdown inverted pleat also.
Lastly, i made the long sleeves into short ones and reattached the original cuffs.


This vest and skirt were refashioned from two pairs of Saville Row men's trousers. The back of the vest is made from all of my loud pink ties. The buttons are also covered with tie silk fabric.
The top is just knit tee that i made to go with the outfit.
