So I think Im going to live in this outfit for the rest of spring ... and maybe a little of summer !
It is so Chic and Comfortable , and it was a breeze to put together !
This look came about because my sew sister (TabithaSewer) and I discovered that we had the same type of fabric ! I purchased my Acordian pleat fabric from Textile Fabrics in Nashiville , Tennessee. Tabitha scored her fabric at a thrift store haul in the form of a old formal dress !! When I saw her fabric on her instastories I had to say something because I had in my possesion the same type of fabric without a clue on what to do with it !
Tab had decided to make a skirt out of her fabric and when she saw my message she immediatly asked me to collab and make one with her! I was excited to colab but not completly sold on the skirt idea for myself. I had been eyeing a pair of Pallazo pants made out of the same fabric but just hadnt gotten the courage to cut into the fabric and make them .
I sent her my inspiration pic and she suggested that I do the pants and she do a skirt !
That way we could show two ways to use the fabric . NOW I WAS READY !!
I already had two perfect patterns in my stash to make the outfit that I wanted :
Top : Simplicity 8093
Pants: Mccall 3519 ( Vintage)
For the top I used a beautiful white Charmeuse that I picked up from Joanns a few months ago.
It would work perfectly for the Simplicity Top !
I set to work making the entire outfit, which took me a full day to complete .
I put the Pants pattern together without using the instructions and decided to alter them slightly by adding a extra row of stitching at the top of the waist. When I inserted elastic it gave the pants a "paper bag effect" at the top !
Both patterns where a breeze to put together !
Please dont forget to check out what Tabitha did with her fabric on her Insta Feed !
It is FABULOUS as always !!
Until Next Time ! XOXOXO
Beautiful and gorgeous
