We were asked if we could salvage this former dress and turn it into a skirt

After restoration, this is the new skirt created from the dress

We used fabric from the top to create a new waistband for the skirt

We used the button from the dress for the skirt and inserted a new zip

We had shortened Karen's dress and she wanted us to turn the off-cut into a skirt

We added a satin waistband and cut the skirt pattern from the off-cut

This waistcoat needed sleeves added to be turned into a jacket

Our client supplied vintage velvet which we made sleeves of

We inserted the sleeves with slight ruching for added femininity

The sleeve openings were finished with elastic to allow for 'billowing'
