When it comes to suits, I’m totally drawn to more masculine dressing with bits and pieces of femininity, like a peek of an ankle or a sliver of stomach, which was the idea behind these pants. They’re made with Mood Fabrics’s lightweight Italian poly blend, a great fabric with a bit of stretch perfect for a slim fit. This fabric works well not only for pants but would be beautiful in a fitted dress.
The pattern used for these pants is a Burdastyle downloadable, with the following alterations:
– Added a front ankle slit and removed the cuff
– Added one back welt pocket
The sweater was made with this beautiful Thakoon sweater knit from MoodFabrics.com. This fabric is an awesome 68″ long, which enabled me to make a long and short sleeve version of this great top.
The pattern used for this sweater was a Burdastyle downloadable with the following alterations:
– Removed 10″ from the bottom of the pattern
– Cut the pattern 3x too small and used a 2″ seam allowance for a fitted look.
