OOTD: Peek.aboo
This was an original attempt of desperation. Boyfriend jackets had kicked off a huge storm then and I was dying for the look but of course, I couldn't find a boyfriend jacket that would fit me properly. So I wandered off into a shop and found this. It was long and black and hey, I thought, I could make this into my boyfriend jacket! Of course the material was too soft to hold a proper shape but I found that I was able to button up all the way and it wasn't too tight for my tummy or hips. I look shapeless and the front was way too short. It would hitch up without an effort.
The original idea was to sew a line of tulle at the hem but I didn't have enough tulle to do that so I put off wearing it for nearly a year or maybe even more. That morning, I was in a race for Time before the Boy would pick me up for work and this dress was lying conveniently on a chair, waiting to be "worked on". I just slipped it on, threw on a belt and most importantly, shimmied into a petticoat and ran out.
The petticoat left my modesty intact so I was able to enjoy this very well-fitted shirt-dress all day, feeling great. A lacier petticoat hunt is on full motion!
This is an example of how a mistake turned out right.

Cool! Can't wait to see the finished product! I really need to learn how to sew :S
I love what you've done with this!
It really did turn out right. It looks great. And thanks for the close up of the belt. I've been trying to figure out how people tie them that way!

Such cute bracelets!
I absolutely adore this. The petticoat was a clever idea, and with a fuller one the shirt dress will look even better! I'm envious of those shoes! :)
