| ~ yep ~ |
Actually I'm next to the church, at the rectory. The whole establishment is huge and a few doors down from my house.
(In fact, you can see some of the edifice in the background of my backyard pix.)

It was such a lovely day in the neighborhood
(again), a walk was warranted.

I've worn this before, but with different stuff. I luv this kimono and how it accidentally came about. You can see and read about it
here, if you'd like. Meanwhile, it's from a failed
Tina Givens Meri pattern.
The pantaloons were self-drafted out of organza and attached to old yoga shorts.

They were definitely influenced by this style icon:

They are so comfortable and I never, never where thongs. But when I saw how they were made and the heel/sole, I just couldn't resist. Plus they were going for $15 and no one else bid on them. (?!) The brand is
Akaishi which was unknown to me before.
I adore this outfit!
ReplyDeleteI remember when you made these bloomers. They have stuck with me. I aspire to make some one day. You are now passing the idea on again.
PS I think that is Debra Rapaport not Lyn Yeager.
ooo, you're right, Jazzy Jack. Thanks, for saving the day!
DeleteI made another pair in white organza too. Luv them both.
Aha. Bloomers. Now I get it. For those of us who are just not going to wear pantyhose but like a layer there. for all the practical things that panty hose do.. Fancy pants liners. Aha.
ReplyDeleteOh, there much better than pantyhose. They're flowy, and pretty, and you can even wear them for exercising (or if your skirt blows up in the wind)!
DeleteThe self drafted pantaloons are brilliant! I myself have thought about making those yoga shorts into skirts. Love the slippers. In Hawaii we practically live in slippers.
ReplyDeleteooo Hawaii?! I actually wear the pantaloons quite a bit, especially with sheer-ish things. You know, 2 sheers make it alright.
DeleteYou know I love a kimono sleeve - I would wear that over everything! I really like the sheer underlayers you make - the loose top and these bloomers. Can I hire you to make me a top??
ReplyDeleteIs there anything better than a kimono top? Okay, sheer layers. And bloomers. But other than those? Kimono sleeves are easier than regular sleeves because they don't have to fit. What do you have in mind? I bet you could do it yourself, Shelley. There's so many kimono patterns out there these days...
