I love to be chic everywhere I go, but I often fall short at the office out of sheer laziness. There are so many projects I have this year as I approach my 36th birthday to spruce up my image.
This week's garment was constructed using McCalls M6901 with the following modifications: Pockets omitted, legs widened by 2 inches from the hip down, and an invisible zipper on the left side.
The Top was constructed using Vogue V9075 bodice with the following modifications:
Lining omitted and replaced with facing on the front and back necklines, Sleeve lengthened into a full sleeve, and 2 6-8 inch wide peplum created by using the circle skirt and slash and spread method with a longer tail in the back.
I love this look and feel like it has me written all over it. I wore it today to work after being out sick for several days. Because I work in a heavily casual environment, I was complemented all the way into the door and to my office :).
Happy Sewing

This is a really nice outfit.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you mean by "using the circle skirt"?
Can you give any tips on making crotch adjustments when using patterns.
Very cute look, Jenese! I'm lazy at work, too. I'm like, meh, ya'll are lucky I'm here!
