MeMade Clothing: Ashton Tank in Apricot Linen & Winslow Culottes in Brown

Sunday, October 29, 2023

I'm not sure these two colors go together, but here we are.

Helen's Closet Winslow Culottes. This is view C with an additional inch or two (because, tall), with the slash pockets and elastic back waist hacks in a viscose crepe from Blackbird Fabrics. Blind hem is getting better. Not perfect, but an improvement!

A Helen's Closet Ashton Top size 12 with facings, the cropped version, with an inch added as I'm tremendously tall. It's the perfect length for mid-rise bottoms, for avoiding tucking-in. Also, did the low back hack, by increasing the back neckline to about 5 inches deep. Scooped a tiny bit from the front neckline, too, for a perfect summery top. Fabric is lightweight linen in apricot from fabrics-store.com from their "Doggie Bag"/Remnant section.

Added the hand-embroidered running stitch to the bottom, before adding the hem facing for a little added interest (and to make it coordinate with my wardrobe a bit better).
