This is my first two piece work-suit I've made since I started sewing.
I've always wanted to make a tailored suit, but I don't really want to do the work, you know?
So, baby steps and by the looks of this one, I think I have potential.
Patterns Used:
- I used 2.75 yds of Cotton/lycra from Fabricmartfabrics.com
- My usual 1 inch petite adjustment for the blouse (size 14), lengthen the peplum an inch to bring it back to its original length.
- Made size 18 skirt, not adjustments.
- No additional notions other than what was started on pattern envelopes.
Part One
Part two
Fantastic work! I love it. You have a great eye for putting these two pieces together!
