What shall I do with all those very old clothes that I cannot up cycle for my Fashion reconstruction (FR) projects but are still wearable and which I am not ready to part with?
I can always down cycle them into House dresses (HD) and wear them for lounging during day time, as inner garments or as pyjamas.
Because I wanted to easily slip in and out of the house dresses without the hassle of unbuttoning or unzipping, I opted for a loose-fit comfort and removed all the buttons and darts from the previous clothing.
The process is the same as with all of my fashion reconstruction projects except that I am not so particular about hemming the edges for some.
Hence, some of the house dresses would have the serged edges visible because I also wanted this to be part of the design.
This page contains a compilation of all the house dresses I have made to-date.
