Birkin Flares & B6355

This is the first time in a while I have made a entire outfit !

In the beginning it was just about making a wearable muslin for the Birkin Flares . 

In the end it turned into a entire outfit ... WIN !

About the Birkin Flares ...

I had been watching this pattern for a while . I found out about these during the testing phase , so I had to wait until they released . I knew they would be a hit and I was right ! 

The fit and flare of these jeans really make them a classic !

Baste and Gather really did a wonderful job designing these for the everyday women .

They have the perfect amount of comfort and support !

Baste and Gather - Birkin Flares 

The construction of these babies was relatively easy . The instructions where clear and concise. 

 I did make a few mistakes but I was able to correct them . I did decide to add 4 inches to the pants ... this was to accommodate my legs and a 5 inch heel :)   SUCCESS!!

I ommited the buckles and rivets this time around but I plan to tackle them with the REAL pair !

I do plan to go down a size because I want a snugger fit ! That was the purpose of making a wearable muslin before ... and i get two pair of Jeans :) 

I made these from a ponte knit that was gifted to me ! It really has a vintage feel to it . 

Once I finished the Jeans I quickly realized that I had nothing to wear with it . 

A perk I can not get use to  is being able to make new clothes when you need them, so I did ...

It seemed to go perfect with the style of these Jeans !!

The only change I made was to omit the gathered sleeves 

I decided to make a simple lace bodice to go under the top. 

I love the entire look !!

I cant wait to make my REAL pair of Birkin Flare .. I plan to make them out of White Jean!

Until Next Time !!!
