Inspiration for a whole outfit can't get much better than this.
This is from Lafayette 148 New York. Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater - price $448.00. Brody Uptown Tattersall Long-Sleeve Blouse - price $378.00. Clinton Heritage Plaid Cuffed Pants - price $598.00. For a closer look, check the Neiman Marcus website.
Here's my pattern choices to recreate a similar look:
This is #195 Sweater Set by Silhouettes. I would make a long sleeved tee with a little more ease and add the turtle neck or whatever neckline I wanted. Do it in a sweatery rib knit.
This is the Archer Button Up pattern by Grainline Studio. To achieve a similar top, don't add the pocket. This pattern would also work:
This is the Classic Shirt by Liesl & Co. Although this pattern gives you the same basic silhouette as the Archer, this one has a darts which will give it a better fit.
This is the Clover pant pattern by Colette. View A is a classic cigarette style pant.
This feels like a lot of ideas but we really should think outfits when we are sewing so we do not end up with a lot of orphan projects. Who needs a closet full of clothes with nothing to wear? Hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.
Happy Stitching!
