From Good Lady Suit to One Shoulder Dress









Got this suit from my bf's relative, she made it herself when she was younger. I like its silk texture and peaceful color, also the flat cut of collar is pretty elegant. But again, it is just not my size. Thought I can wear the skirt as a tube dress, that is what I usually do with skirts from vintage store in Sweden. But I do got enough tube dresses, some of which have not been put on yet. It is time to try some thing new.

During the past few months, I have been fancying an one shoulder dress all the time, not too formal, not too sexy, just need to be elegant with a bit casual laziness. Especially after I saw the movie Bröllopsfotografen, the Astrid girl always shows up in one shoulder design, either top or dress. I truly love her elegant and chic style. Inspired by Astrid, I first tried to renew the top shirt from the suit in to an one shoulder top, but could not think of any nice way to make the bottom. Then I moved to the idea to make a one shoulder dress.

Took the waist of the skirt around my ribs, to make it into high waist line look. Cut off one shoulder and change the length of the bottom part of the top, to make it easier to connect with the waist. Used the cut-off fabric to make some decoration, so as to cover the messy stitches at the back.
