For my BIL’s wedding I had the perfect thing to wear. I’d had this suit for a year but hadn’t worn yet because it needed a little bit of tailoring and I had nothing to wear under it. I’d almost forgotten I’d had it. But we were given Fuchsia shirts to wear and told to wear black skirts. I thought it was time to fix this suit. But first, I wanted to make it look better with the fuchsia, so I changed out the light pink piping and replaced it with material from an extra tie that matched Jared’s.
Yes, that means I picked out the collar and the little bows and re-sewed them all. I’ll admit that there were a couple of times when I was taking it apart that I had minor panic attacks but once that was all done it I was soo glad that I did it. It looked great and now this outfit won’t be hidden in the back of my closet anymore.
You really did a good job of redoing your suit, very clever.
wow – i. am. impressed. and totally inspired to overcome my absolute fear of potentially damaging perfectly good clothing. That is so much better than before!
