For the month of February, the members of the ThReD and Needles sewing group were given the challenge to make “lingerie as daywear”.  A risky, scary, out-of-the-norm style that has come in and out of style over the years.  This year, several designers showed their versions and take-downs of this trend for Spring and Pre-Fall 2016.

One of my favorites was this Victoria Beckham from her Pre-Fall 2016 collection.

Here is my version…

I used Lisette Butterick pattern HERE.  The fabric was purchased in New York a few years ago..but I have also seen it at Gorgeous Fabrics.  It is a beautiful silk lightweight woven.  I accented the print with a solid burgundy colored crepe.  The pattern recommended using purchased piping.  I made my own with scrap silk striped fabric…I had just enough for all the piping.  I made a few adjustments to the pattern.  I added about 8 inches to the back panel and shortened the pants.

TOP and BOTTOM: Butterick B6296 HERE | SHOES: Alexander Wang |

EARRINGS: Bauble Bar similar HERE

I styled it with the pants and then with jeans for some versatility.  Great Idea if you are nervous about full commitment to the trend!

 HANDBAG: Banana Republic similar HERE | SHOES: Steve Madden HERE

What do you think? Is this a trend you might try?

I will be posting the amazing work of the other ladies VERY soon (including the STASH FABRIC challenge from last month).  Please stay tuned.
