Playsuit

Today I decided to totally rebel against winter and the temperatures and weather that goes along with it and made the most inappropriate piece of clothing possible for this time of the year. I made a playsuit. Yes! And it is shouting for summer, sun, beach and all the rest of it. So far it has not been heard I guess.
I made a two piece suit so top an shorts can be worn as separates too.
Now think beach and enjoy.
 I only pinned the shorts on this mannequin because she doesn't have any trouser legs (proper lady)
On the sizable mannequin. She looks like she needs to go on a diet though. I didn't adjust her better before taking the pictures. But you get a good idea of the shorts here.

  6. Thank you ladies, I'm glad you like it. I'm sure this is not the last one I have made.
    I didn't use a pattern as such. I made up the shorts, drafting the pattern myself. It's just a very simple trouser/pant block and a waist band extended into ties. The top is a variation of current Vogue 8613. I made the top up with different sleeves though and added a tie-able waist band to that as well.

  7. I have to say I do prefer this one but simply because of the colours! Gorgeous!
