Harem Pants Suit. Yes, you heard me correctly.

One of my favorite things to do lately is taking old garments and changing them. I dunno.. I guess you could say I like "Fabric Recycling." One of my recent creations was creating some harem pants from some old baggy dress pants I had in my closet (From much "Fatter" days). I've wanted a pair of Harem pants pretty bad so I decided to create my own.

Then I had the suit jacket which I thought would make a fun vest if I took off the sleeves. I removed the sleeves and created a different front by cutting in a triangle shape. I wanted a different silhouette because I'm tired of the way most men's vests are made to look.

And After:

The process definitely helped me develop and further my construction abilities. I'm learning how shape definitely effects the wear.



I definitely had fun wearing them to a recent banquet held by FAMD, which is the student-run fashion group on campus. I wanted a different look than some dress pants and a blazer. Besides getting compliments I also won the mock award for "Social Butterfly," woot woot.
