As I said in my last post I plan to make a mini capsule wardrobe I can wear to nights out. I think the colour palette is going to be navy and white with a hint of pink thrown in - nice and classic. The fabrics will be a mix of cottons, linens and viscose. The patterns I am working from are some Colette patterns I got about 2 years ago.
So the items in the collection will include some lightweight blouses
2 pairs of trousers, 1 wide leg and 1 slimfit.
2 coats, 1 winter jacket and 1 summer 3/4 length jacket.
and finally 1 dress as I am not much of a dress person.
I have started making fitting muslins for the tops to gauge my sizing for these patterns and ordered some fabrics. Will leave the winter jacket to last as it is the most complicated piece so if I do not get it done I will do the top variation from the dress pattern. Hopefully it will all go to plan and by the end of the year I will a capsule wardrobe that will be suitable to wear to any occasion.
