F for Fashion reconstruction #23

This Fashion reconstruction project is actually a breather project.

It means that while taking a break from my next fashion reconstruction project (FR#24) which was taking too long to complete, I managed to squeeze this one in and finished sooner.

Usually, when a brain freeze occurs, I would "sleep on it" for days. But since sleeping is not a productive activity and one which I only do at night, I decided to start on an interim project which is less complicated.

So, I picked a floral georgette long skirt which I recently bought from my usual flea market and paired it with a short-sleeved ruffled polyester blouse (bought in late 90s) which I had not worn for years, since the colour schemes complemented each other.

To the skirt, I only had to make slight adjustments by removing the elastic waistband and lengthened the inner lining, and with just a little bit more effort to the blouse, I only had to add some fabric I got from my newly-acquired stash of crepe remnants, to extend the sleeves.

Take them apart, join them together and voila! In no time at all, a new dress is born!

This one'll definitely be in my "to wear" list because the combined fabric is almost as light as a feather and one which I will carry in my travelling bag.


I would probably change the buttons in the future, but for now, this will do...

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. 💃🐒👌🙋
