The new Chloé advert
Posted by Fabric Godmother on 1st Jan 1970
Is anybody else lusting over the new Chloe advert (or is that just me and my friends?) The girl on the left, the red trousers, the cream top with lace detail. I LOVE it!
As Chloe is a little out of my price range the top is £870 and the trousers £585 and both are already sold out on Net-a-porter (so I am not the only one who wants this outfit) I decided to have a go at making my own version of this outfit.
So far I have made the top using a simple long sleeve blouse, with a single button fastening at the back and long billowing sleeves. I used ivory crepe fabric for the blouse then double layered the front section with ivory lace fabric. The Chloe one has a nude lining and Ecru sleeves but I wanted something a little brighter. I couldn't find a simple blouse pattern like this anywhere (let me know if you have found one) I ended up drafting my own.
I am still debating the red trousers, for now I will wear the top with a pair of black trousers and red suede shoes.
Happy sewing xxx
