A vintage coat transformed into a vintage suit.


After dying the jacket black, I used a skirt block and a bodice block to cut out the shape of the skirt and jacket,


I then added a fur trim around the collar.
I then decided to add fur to the bottom of the skirt too.




The original vintage coat was dyed black and transformed into an exciting vintage suit.






I experimented with the skirt, first putting the fur on top of the skirt.



 The end result.
