Hey lovelies!
Today I'm bringing you an OOTD on a Thursday..(cheeky).
To celebrate the Valentine's festivities this year I thought i'd make something sweet to wear, & inspiration struck when I found a Maxi dress I'd purchased last year from Rokit!
I purchased it for just £7 from the Starship section in Rokit Camden & you can see it in action HERE in a Youtube OOTD.
I was thinking of what to create when I got the idea for a cute 2 piece outfit, There certainly was enough fabric for me to have a try!
My initial idea made use of the frilly bottom, included sleeves and a pointed collar however I opted to make it sleeveless and chose to try a Peter Pan collar.
I started by chopping it in half to the length I wanted the skirt & just elasticated the waistband!
I used the rest of the material to make a shirt, customizing the pattern to make it smaller to use less fabric.
Here's my finished Skirt & Shirt before I made the collar & hemmed the edges.
Once I added the collar, Buttons and Hems it was finished!
I'd like to say, I have never sewn a peter pan collar before, and I'm 100% aware of how wonky it is! I'm super proud of it though it has character, it takes practice!
Here's my completed outfit with accessories!
Wonky Collar Action haha!
I had a lot of fun making this little number! It certainly gives my Maxi a new lease of life! I hope it inspires you to take something you don't wear much & turn it into something super adorable!
What's the best thing you've customized?
Happy Valentines Day!
