However, this fashion reconstruction project differs from the usual stuff in the sense that the item I have chosen is something which I bought recently from a flea market.
It was a pre-loved 2-piece baju kurung moden or modern Malay outfit which was still in good condition and cost me only $5.
When I first put it on, it looked rather old on me and made me look short. So I thought I should give it a fresh new look. With some adjustments, I believe I should be able to turn this dreadful thing into something cheerful for me to wear on the next festive season.
I had an idea of how the new dress would look like and made a rough sketch of it.
But after examining the pieces of material available, I realised that I could do more. So I made a slight modification to the design.

Because I was down with flu, it took me a week and half to complete this project and another couple of days to complete the embellishments.
I am very pleased that the new dress turned out to be better than I had expected. When I put on this dress, it made me look slim and taller.
Even my mom was impressed. She even said that a dress like this would fetch at least $100 at one of our local boutiques. hmmm Coming from her, an experienced dressmaker, I took that as a compliment, because a feedback such as this, rarely comes my way.

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. 💃🐒👌🙋
