A jumpsuit refashioned into a blouse

It's a very nice jumpsuit, but not for me!


 So I refashioned it into a blouse, inspired by one of the many necklines I had seen in the film Brooklyn.


 And finally managed to match these vintage buttons to a fabric that they really sat well with.



At the same time I was also experimenting with sleeve shapes, although this one was far too splayed out in its shaping?


 So I manipulated it into becoming a feature, working with the styling of the blouse I was making! For full details have a look at my blog!
