Lounge Suit into Costume



I imagine some previous knowledge of dressmaking is required to perform this seemingly simple operation but it's worth a try if you have some threadbare old suit lying about the place.
From The Pictorial Guide to Modern Home Needlecraft published by Odhams (1946 reprint). There are lots of these 'new clothes from old' tutorials in the book. Please ask you desire any more information.

  1. Damn, that is one stylish lady! She also understands the trick of combining rather masculine clothes with ultra-feminine touches.

  2. This suit into suit looks stunning.. I'd have never attempted this sort of transformation without seeing your post.
    I'd love more information of any sort.
