I took these photographs last week in rather windy conditions, other than the blustery weather it was actually quite nice and it was the first day in a while that I felt like taking some outfit pictures. So despite having my hair all over the place in most pictures I took quite a few different outfit pictures.
I thought it was about time to put my handmade clothes into an outfit post. The first picture is the skirt and the top worn together to look like a dress. With some of the extra fabric I made a long belt to wrap around which hides the elastic of the skirt making it look like a full dress. I think it works quite well and looks quite vintage :)

The top and the shorts can also be worn together to create a playsuit effect, again using the belt to hide the seam. Another very retro look but one that I think will have to wait for next spring sadly. All the pieces can be worn individually too, these are just a few quick examples I threw together but I think there will be plenty of combinations to choose from in my wardrobe!
So it seems like all of the pieces can be quite versatile and the fabric is really comfy. Even though it is heading into autumn now, yes I was a little slow on the uptake of the fruit pattern trend, I am hoping to be able to transition the pieces into autumn. Maybe paired with some wooly tights and cosy cardigans, what do you think?

Nice! you made that, love it. I actually thought it was a romper, but then read they were different pieces, works even when you pair them with different separates.

I'm so impressed with the pieces you made, they really do look like a playsuit and a dress - and then work really well as separates too. Were the shorts hard to make? Great work Cait :)

So so cute! I love how you've paired the top and skirt in that top picture to make it look like a dress. So fresh and fun. Makes me wish I could sew!

I like the tutti-fruity pieces, and I like the fox t-shirt, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is beyond crafty and impressive. I wish I could transfer your skills onto my brain, which can only handle sewing buttons at this point. As for the summery pattern, I wouldn't be concerned - the palette boasts a lot of yellows, reds, and rusts and what could be more autumnal than that?
ReplyDeleteGreat work!! Love how you showed all the different looks. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe you made all of these pieces- they are so great Cait! =)
