Hey PSers!
So a few weeks ago I posted about the pants I made. Well now I've finished (with a few exceptions) my new wardrobe. I made 15 tops, 5 pairs of pants, 1 reversible skirt (one more that needs hemming) and 2 dresses. I am very pleased with what I've accomplished as now I have clothes that fit me. Now I'm debating on making two new dresses or seeing if I can make 2 skirts with 2 matching tops (so if I wore them together they would look like a dress). I have lots of pictures (like 32) of my clothes. The tops are mostly Belcarra (graded up to fit me), the other was BurdaStyle #106 Pleated Blouse (changed the bottom to match the shaping of the Belcarra). The dresses are a mix of two patterns, Simplicity 1873 for the top and Hollyburn for the skirt. The pants are the pattern that I posted earlier using SureFitDeisngs. I'm quite pleased with the reversible skirt. I had a 100% silk wrap skirt that looked horrible on me (wrap skirts look great on others, but not me), so I had a choice: toss or refashion. I carefully picked apart the seams and cut out my fitting Hollyburn skirt. Here is the skirt with 2 different tops.
I have more pictures if anyone wants to see.
