Hello Readers. Check out this fabulous pink suit I found at a swap. I loved everything about it. How could I make it fit and keep it casual and fun?
This suit was a little baggy in the pants but they were cropped so I thought this would easy to fix.
These pants just needed a tweak and they would work for me. I made new seams on the sides. I tried them on and marked them so I knew I needed to take out about 2 inches.
The pants were fun and casual by themselves, I paired them with a casual t-shirt.
The little jacket was wonderful too. I took the sides in just a bit so the waist fit better.
I used my serger to make the new side seams but a sewing machine with a zigzag stitch would work just as well. These pink stripes were just fabulous!
The jacket fit much better and it looked good with the matching pants too.
And it is such a fun outfit!
Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.

In the before pictures, the suit looks a bit like pajamas. That's not necessarily bad, if you want some new pajamas. In the after pictures, the suit looks well-fitted and stylish. I usually would choose the well-fitted and stylish option.
I have some light-weight suits in my refashion bin, left over from my working years, which I somehow missed in my post-retirement closet purge. I am thinking of following your lead. Thanks as always for all the great ideas!
Hi KD! This suit did look like pj's! The pink color probably didn't help.
Good luck with your suits.
