Susanoo refashioned denim jacket

For this denim jacket refashioning I used one old mens denim shirt (labeled James) and one worn out denim skirt. Shirt I used was size L so I was able to play with the size by gathering some of the excess fabric to the back.

How I did it

Original sleeve cuffs I cut off and attached denim pleats instead.

As usual when I am into these refashioning pieces I do not follow any plans. My way is to go step by step, feeling the fabric and trying the piece on often between different stages just to see how it acts when on you.

Adding the belt done with light/dark colored denim pieces gives the jacket more feminine figure. Cotton lace was a last minute fix to hide the masculine front piece.

I am super satisfied how this denim refashioning piece turned out; modest flamboyant with contemporary twist.
