And so to number 6! Now for this one I really wanted to go down the waistcoat road, which developed from the last outfit. I also took the blouse again, but in white this time, trimmed with cotton lace. Whilst I was making this outfit, the song “Any Old Iron” kept going through my head, it had a lot to do with the thought of nobody giving me tuppence for my old watch chain! LOL!
Well, you can’t have a waistcoat without a watch chain! Watch chains are very underrated!
I have attached the watch chain to the trousers here, well, who wants convention?
The trousers were a very risky thing to do for this challenge, as the fit could not be guaranteed. The doll we were given had larger hips than Ellowyne, so I wasn’t sure the end result would look good on the Runway. However, I went ahead. They are made in Silk Dupion and have piped edging running down the legs. They fasten at the back with a press stud.
The waistcoat has a little collar in tartan, to keep that theme flowing and fastens at the back with eyelets and laces. This just gives it a little more interest. The front fastens with press studs and is trimmed with tiny red buttons.
To accessorise this outfit, I made her a bag too. I made it in the red Silk fabric of the other outfits to contrast with the black of this outfit but used the red tartan to keep everything together. It has chain handles to keep the watch chain theme, and a tiny mock zipped pocket on the front. The bag is lined inside, it closes with a press stud and it has colour co-ordinated eyelets for the chains to run through.
Her boots match her outfit perfectly and finish it off to a T!!
