doreme

At school, our next project is to make a wool suit. I was in Shibuya (I lost my phone and had to make some arrangements, accordingly) and went by the fabric shop, Marunan. They're right by the station, five flights, decent selection, and normal prices, if not on the expensive side. Incidentally, found that wool is expensive, avg. 3000yen/yard. Fortunately, they had this Kelly green, thick, like felt, wool that was on sale for 1000yen. So, as far as now, it's decided, I'll make a Kelly green jacket and skirt suit. I think I'll make the jacket more like a coat, long, a little loose, and the skirt will be knee length, slightly fitted, no flare, maybe a slit in the back. Very vintage inspired.
Prada, fall 2003
A double breasted coat, with a similar collar and cuffs, or no, maybe no cuffs. Three quarter sleeves. I'll make a sketch, and once I get the 'okay', I'll make a
reduced pattern, half the actual size, using a ruler where the markings are half the actual measurements. After that gets corrected, it's cut and sew!

Balenciaga fall 2006. hmm, should I go for a mini?
