Más PR&P :: PR&P week 2

Despues de luchar contra mis instintos sevillanos para no coser un traje de flamenca, esta es mi versión del tema Lunares y Rayas para el Project Run & Play
Dot me
***
Dots are second nature to me. I grew up in the south of Spain where girls have flamenco dresses even before they can walk. Sewing a flamenco dress was the easy option for me but I wanted to take it further. I got a typical polka dot popelin from my local store, a special kind of fabric sold for flamenco dresses because is stiff, crisp but light (also cheap). And then I spent days asking myself: What would be the opposite of a flamenco dress? ha! capri pants, a T-shirt and a A line jacket.

Quería usar los tres ingredientes básicos de los trajes de flamenca de mis hijas pero de forma totalmente diferente. Tela de lunares, volantes y piquillo.

I wanted to use the three main "ingredients" of my daughter´s flamenco dresses, polka dots, ric rac and ruffles

Con la tela de flamenca he hecho un pantalón pitillo y con el piquillo le hice las rayas a la camiseta

Dots for pants and ric rac on a plain T shirt

 
El volante está en las mangas de la chaqueta

Ruffles on the jacket sleeve

Luego le fui añadiendo detallitos como los botones a contraste, las presillas, los vivos del bolsillo del pantalón etc.

Then added other details like buttons, contrasting facing, etc

 
 


El patrón de la chaqueta es el Firefly jacket de Oliver and S
La camiseta es la Skinny T shirt de Rae
El pantalón es del Burda
***
I made the pants entirely with the polka dot fabric, except for the pockets piping and the inside of the waist, where I used a tiny flower print. The pattern is by Burda Style Magazine

Because red polka dots can be quite overpowering and may turn the outfit into a Minni Mouse costume, I decided to smart it up a little by adding a clean and simple black band to the jacket for contrast. The red buttons were a must because if I don´t sew a red button I´m not happy. The pattern is Oliver and S Firefly jacket.

Under the jacket there´s a white T-shirt to which I stitched black ric rac forming the stripes. The pattern is Rae Flashback Skinny Tee, modified to add volume to the body. It´s tight in the chest but wider at the bottom. I´m not good with the serger so for the neck band I pretended I was sewing with woven and added a facing with a slit and a button loop instead. (My daughter picked her T shirt button)
