Tank top on top of jacket - makes a new outfit. Dress 781 by Angela Lansbury.

  Update - Wear Tank Top On Top I went to hang up the tank top. Not having another hanger handy, I put it on top of the jacket. Although the jacket pocket adds bulk under the tank top, that is a way of getting a second wearing if the jacket has a stain on the front, to create a second look for a second day, cheering the wearer and onlookers. This is what is hidden underneath. Yesterday's look. When the jacket was done up, you lost the tank tops edged neckline and braided sleeves. I have a symmetrical outfit.  Neater. And more attention to a speaker's face, rather than their body, chest and waist. The effect you prefer might depend on whether you are walking about at a cocktail party or buffet, or sitting at dinner, or speaking, seated, at a committee The Tank Top Tank tops are usually plain, sleeveless, no bust darts, round necks, wide shoulder strap part of the front.  The matching tank top is completely hidden when you do up the collar of the jacket.  For an altern...

 The Jacket The label is Indigo Moon.  My current favorite. Ebay has many jackets, tops and tee shirts with matching skirt suits, and a few coats, bags and dresses. I have several jackets.  This one is medium size. My husband said. 'The sleeves are too long.' I was going to fold them underneath, inside.   Then I realised I could fold them back on the outside of the sleeve. The sleeves are edged in braid. Any disadvantages of Indigo Moon jackets?  .Most of them have no pockets. Useful Websites for Indigo Moon Ebay Etsy Please follow my blogs and see my other posts on Indigo Moon clothes.

Tassels on trousers Outfit 551

  These smart trousers probably cost a fortune. You could buy tassel braid to enhance your own white trouser legs, or white jeans.  Americans say pants for trousers.  I would cold wash, or wash the braid, or at least a sample or section before sewing it on. You want to be sure it won't shrink more than the other fabric. Coloured braid could also be dramatic, and you might choose braid to match your top.  You want to be sure the coloured braid doesn't run in the wash and stain your garment. If you already have a stained hem, to trousers or a skirt, you canuse a braid to cover it. Stains You can buy products to wash out stains. Or keep washing. Or tie-dye. Or sew more patches over the stain. Or dye the entire garment another colour. The same colour as the stain. Or a dark colour superimposed to hide it. Turn trousers into treasure. Perfect your pants.
