These look so good, you'd think they'd been custom tailored just for you! :)</p> <p>And I'm picking my jaw off the floor, trying to recover from how awesomely COOL your vest is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-red-culottes#post-1706722 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 02:35:11 +0000 Jaime 1706722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them especially with the great vest in #3/4! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-red-culottes#post-1706703 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 01:49:37 +0000 Elle 1706703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the culottes! Great color and linen too (my favorite fabric). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-red-culottes#post-1706701 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 01:44:19 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1706701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I'm blushing from the compliments.<br />Skylurker, I will have to try the culottes with a lower-vamped shoe, too. Maybe ballet flats. . . .</p> <p>The applique vest was the project I made in a class recently, at the American Sewing Guild annual conference. It was a lot of fun, and way out of my usual mode, coming up with a combination and placement of shapes, plus doing some hand stitching!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-red-culottes#post-1706652 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 23:37:28 +0000 Janet 1706652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that color! You are such a talented seamstress! Gah, I wish I lived closer -- I'd hire you to do a couple of projects I have in mind. :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-red-culottes#post-1706608 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 22:18:11 +0000 Amy 1706608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, those turned out great and go so well with your toppers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-red-culottes#post-1706607 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 22:15:20 +0000 L'Abeille 1706607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning. That red shade is gorgeous but you've upped the ante even more with those coordinating tops. I'm overwhelmed by your creative genius; it's one thing to see existing items in the shops and combine them creatively; it's another to find the right fabrics and colours and combine them into something flattering; but you go so many levels beyond, imagining things that never were. I don't know which outfit I love more... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-red-culottes#post-1706595 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 21:52:39 +0000 shedev 1706595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are killer on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-red-culottes#post-1706538 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 19:50:15 +0000 unfrumped 1706538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! I also like shorter tops with these.<br /> I think I still want to wear my Topshop dark red culottes so you've inspired me to break them out again. Maybe next year I won't want to but for now they're still newish to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-red-culottes#post-1706500 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 18:39:16 +0000 Anonymous 1706500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow Sharan! You culottes are 1000% better than the Madewell ones. I much prefer the shape. The colour is delicious and I adore that arty vest that you made.

What a rich red. It's beautiful! I LOVE the outfit with the tank on its own. Once again, your genius for picking a pattern that works with your hair comes through. I am taking notes.&nbsp;</p> <p>And just look at that arty vest! <b>WOW</b>, that is a signature kind of piece. You are an amazing sewist.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dark-red-culottes#post-1706417 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 16:03:56 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1706417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A while back, I bought some dark red culottes from Madewell, tried them on with different items in my closet, and <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes" rel="nofollow">showed you the pictures</a>. I liked them, but I decided not to keep them, because they were a bit expensive for a limited-wear item. I decided I could make a pair, if I came across a fabric that I liked.<br />I did find a dark red linen, and made a pair of culottes. My linen isn't as drapey as the rayon used by Madewell, but I like my color better, and&nbsp; I like how they turned out. Here they are, in a couple of outfits. </p> <p>1-2: Raspberry linen culottes and blue and red rug-print rayon high-low tank (made by me); blue jeans jacket (AG, Robyn); metallic lace-up Mary Janes (Trippen, Foxy).<br />3-4: Raspeberry linen culottes, light blue-gray linen long sleeved tee with layered hem, and black linen cowl-neck layered-front vest with gray, blue, and red appliques (made by me); black peep-toe sling back platform sandals (Munro).</p> <p>Thanks for looking! I welcome your thoughts and suggestions. </p>
