Lately, I can’t get enough thinking about those unwanted men’s suit hanging around the local op-shop and seems no one wants to have them. I am quite sad seeing the same pairs and not getting attention.
It took me a couple of weeks to decide what will I do with an oversized men’s suit, without fully disassembling all the parts and pieces, and turn them into a new look (I admit I wasn’t in that mood for more serious scrutiny).
One day, I decided to just grab the suit and see what will I do with it.
I found this oversized men’s suit from Vinnies Warragul op-shop for an unbelievable price of S1.00 – no wonder I got so excited taking it home! The fabric is all intact – no scratches or any damages.
For the final touch, I sew the hemline as neat as possible.
Well, it seems my plan turned out pretty good.
Check the final look!
Hope to get several oversized men’s suits in various fabrics and colors to add to my closet!
What do think of this project?
I love what you did to this suit. It's super cute! I'd rock it.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear! This is a well-made suit and it would be shame not appreciated.
DeleteWOW. Super cute. These changes really revived a suit that would have gone to waste.
ReplyDeleteYes! The leftover fabric will be use for the next project. No waste indeed!
DeleteThat is such a super cute look! I love the oversized top with the shorts. Great job!
ReplyDeleteOhh wow, I'm happy that you guys like it!
DeleteI super love what you did with it. The shorts are fabulous and you rock the DMs!
ReplyDeleteThanks, May! I'm thinking of looking for more old suits to upcycle.
DeleteI wish i have your talent! I've been wanting to learn sewing but no luck. Love how the suite turned out. It's so fashionable.
ReplyDeleteI learned sewing using the manual way (needles and threads) and from there, upgraded to sewing machine. Just have patience.
DeleteOh, wow, that is so cute, you are not just a very creative person, but resourceful as well. I liked how it turned out!
ReplyDeleteSalamat po!
DeleteWhat a great idea, Blair! That suit looks upgraded and it's something that you can wear as a casual getup. Ang galing mo talaga, sabi sayo you should put up your own fashion shop. Something for ladies but I hope you would also include a men's line.
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you Ivan!
DeleteStyle is a way to say who you are without having to speak. Slay my queen!
ReplyDeleteAww, you are so sweet!
DeleteVery clever idea. You give a new look to an old, plain suit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ramil! I have three more suits waiting for my magic :)
DeleteI think the short suits look so nice. I'm too old to rock one now but I still love the look.
ReplyDeleteThanks dear! I'll try to look for other suits in different fabric. Men's suit are the best.
DeleteIncredible. You just made a tux sexy for women!!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI can wear their shirts, and now their suits!
Delete1 dollar?! for an oversized suit with trousers? OMG! You know, that costs at least 4 to 5 dollars here in the PH, and the fact that it came in a pair that you can customize is such a steaaaal~~~!!!
ReplyDeleteI know right! Actually, this suit is originally came from a known Australian tailoring brand called Fletcher Jones, and their suits are always on-point, with estimate price of $300 the cheapest. Getting this for a dollar from a charity shop is totally dope!
DeleteI love everything about this as you nailed it again!!! Pangarap ko pa naman mag suot ng ganto pa office ganun. Kaso di ako nag ooffice haha
ReplyDeleteNo one goes to the office anymore, lol WFH is the new trend! Cheers!
DeleteI like what you have done with the suit too. I'd wear it too! You have given me some ideas!
ReplyDeleteIf you have old office suits, you can also thrifted it like this :)
DeleteYay for this! I've been reading your blog for sometime and I am always amazed by your ideas and how you worked them to be "outputs." Ako kasi, puro idea lang. hihi.
ReplyDeletehahaha, its okay we always start on small ideas.
