A whole lot of plaid

I am the biggest fan of plaid on the planet! when shopping at Mood NY last month, I was looking for a few particular fabrics which plaid wasn’t one of them.  Once I spotted this I had to have it.  It’s a one way minimal stretch fabric that would work perfectly in many applications.  If your unable to pop in the store check out the selection of plaids here online. I’ve made many plaid looks over the last couple of years but never made a full on plaid look.  I wanted to break it up a little showing a tad bit of skin so it wasn’t so overwhelming.  The great thing about this look is each piece would work perfect as separates.The top was made using my beloved Vogue V8840 with the following pattern alterations:-Added 19″ the the pattern length-Added 29″ side slits

-Removed the front seam

-Added a 22″ invisible zipper down the back

-Faced the front and the back and lined the upper bodice with silk charmeuse

-Added 8″ to the length of the bottom sleeve

The pants were made using McCalls M6404 view A with the following pattern alterations:

-Removed the knee inserts and welt pockets

-Removed 3″ from the length

-Added 9″ invisible zippers at the ankle

-Added a 3″ waist band and a side invisible zipper
