F for Fashion reconstruction #10

Ever wondered what you could do with those hockey or tennis skirts which you no longer wear?

Well, I have a few of those and perhaps this fashion reconstruction project might give you an idea.


So for this project, I decided to follow up on my previous Audrey Hepburn's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" couture by pairing the pleated black hockey skirt with a black cocktail dress, my second black dress bought in Sydney in 2012.

It was a simple yet tricky number to put together and took my masterful sister and I, 4 days to complete. However, the embellishments took me longer to complete because I could not decide on the design.


After about a month or so, I finally found the design I wanted and went to work.

The result is yet another elegant dress.

Just like the previous black dress, I could not decide if I should fix a pair of sleeves on this one so I left it as it is for now.


On a formal occasion, I could always put on the shrug which I made for an instant pair of sleeves.

Who could tell that this was a cut-and-paste project, if I had not disclosed the facts?


I can proudly say that you cannot find this item anywhere. 💃🐒👌🙋
