From Grandma's closet to the Film roll.

My Grandma donated an outfit to my costuming efforts and I'm quite excited for this Re-Fashion costume! 

The money piece of this outfit is the skirt.


The velvet shows up on camera nice and I'm honestly considering this skirt for the leading lady in my project. 

What do you think Rebecca? 

There's a shirt that will be turned into a under-corset peasant shirt. 


I'm thinking maybe with green? Or creme? Perhaps pink? Who knows what the future holds! 

Also this vest was also in the pile... 



well...

The buttons are nice....


I guess you could say this vest had a silver lining!

And Speaking of Pants...

Doesn't everyone have a favorite pair of pants? 
maybe they're well worn and fuzzy feeling on the outsides, or stretchy in all the right places.
interesting knee details or fun pockets perfect for your day to day life. 

I have a few favorite, and on my oddest pair the button ripped off...



I found this pair at goodwill fresh man year and fell head over heals in love.
I don't know what it is about those useless over decorated pockets and oddly placed seems that made me swoon~

But oh do they make me swoon!

This hole was a big one, so I needed to darn it before attaching any thing to it. 



Or risk the chance of making it worse.

and then all that was left to do was choose a button.



It was a harder choice than you would think..

But I finally made up my mind!



Only to discover that during the three months these pants were sitting in my project bin I grew two pants sizes.

Know anyone size six who wants over-detailed, low-rise, flare-legs?
