Converting Leggings
The inspiration for this outfit was the magenta leggings by brand Keya. Wide leg trousers can convert into a skirt. You simply cut down the inner seam. Move the slits to the sides.Best if there are no pockets. If the skirt gaps too much at the sides you could add in a strip of matching or contrasting fabric, add ribbons to tie across, or simple wear over a petticoat.
The leggings were too long for me so my first thought was to cut off the lower leg and use that piece of matching material as a strip from the waist downwards at both sides. However, my second thought was to pull the lover long 'skirt' upwards to make a dress, adding a wide ribbon over the drop shoulders. How to get it over my head? Maybe detach the ribbons at the back to allow me to pull on the garment. Maybe that would not even be necessary as the fabric was stretchy. The waistband was so tight over the top of my bust that I didn't need the straps to hold it up, only to make it look more like a dress, and more formal, less like pull on beachwear or bare shoulder disco wear.
To fill in the cleavage, I used a dickey. that was also a found garment. A child's Hello Kitty outfit. Pink motif on white was just the right colour. The shoulder strap was narrow so I had to keep
Keya Brand Leggings
The Keya leggings come from Calcutta. (Kolkata, India.) The leggings and clothes are made in 260 colours. I found the Keya website. I could not identify the colour of my pair.
However, I found something even more interesting. I particularly liked the two patterned leggings which had patterns on the lower leg. One had large polka dots in assorted colours, rainbow of colours. on white. Royal ankle length 102.
Royal ankle length 101, four way stretch, The other design, had what looked like flowers on wavy lines going up the lower leg.
When I added it to a shopping cart they gave me a postage estimate for the country, which was a fixed rate of 75 rupees, under 2 sing dollars.The prices were in rupees and 649 sounded very expensive. But translated into Singapore dollars it was 11 dollars .
(Plus postage.) If you are in India, this sounds like good for you if they are in your city, or you are in their city, and you can collect.
They also sell wide leg almost A shape palazzo pants. Another interesting patterned product is short sleeve tee shirts with a different colour on the top half, fading into white, style name 'ombre'.
