This is the original outfit,
my mom's of course, brought back in the 80s.
The fabric is fantastic, 100% cotton but very thin and lightweight,
and has the nicest colours.
It's details drive me crazy:
for example, the straps for hanging are made of the same fabric(!)
Although I would love to wear it,
I am self-consious enough as to realise
that I could not do it without laughing at myself.
The blouse alone is ok, but the skirt? oh my, the skirt!
Not becoming at all definitely!
But as you see there is a solution for everything, yeap!

back
1. made some fancy straps
2. created a faux placket in the back in order to fit to size
3. made a new belt out of the old one, et voilá!

I have to say that I literally reused everything:
didn't cut or throw away anything, yeah!

It has been my favorite outfit for summer 2012,
what else to wear when it is 42 degrees Celcious outside?
