My first tailored suit



No, not the first one I have owned. It's the first one I've sewn! It is unlined, and the fabric is a black and white plaid boucle'. The front of the jacket is held together with two small white ribbon ties. I have yet to insert the shoulder pads. The skirt is an a-line with a slight gather, side zipper, and wide waistband. The jacket is my most difficult sewing project to date as it had 18 pieces! However, there is a satisfaction in tailoring one's own jacket. It took several attempts and alterations to get it to fit perfectly, but I did it.
