Goodwill Rescue

Here is another outfit rescued from the thrift store. The jacket, a tweedy green wool, had a stand up collar and zero lapel. I added brown wool to replace and enlarge the collar. I also expanded the lapel. The original trim was reapplied to the collar edge. The skirt was too short and when I extended the hem an unsightly fold line remained. I camouflaged the old hem line with grosgrain ribbon and rickrack trim.
