Now the waistcoat goes on another step and becomes a blouse. Her watch chain has become more conventional, well, convention isn’t always bad! The blouse here is quite a complicated affair. It is made all in one piece, so the top part of the blouse is sewn between the outer and the lining of the waistcoat.
I have tried to show you it in the pictures above, rather than try to explain, which would probably take all day! LOL!
The lower edge of the blouse is shaped in a traditional waistcoat way. The front has of course, the watch chain. It also had silver buttons and tiny pockets done in the blue tartan. The shirt section is done in white silk, it also has proper fastening cuffs.
For her skirt I have gone for an almost traditional kilt style. The skirt has a pleated panel down the left side and is finished on the front with a tiny blue “Kilt Pin”. The skirt is lined and fastens at the back with press studs.
To finish this outfit off, I have done a peaked cap in the matching blue fabric and trimmed it with silver chain to keep the watch chain theme. This has been trimmed on the ends with beads. It gives the outfit a slight military feel, something I wanted to get across in the Gabby challenge and something I am going to have a play with next!
