Inspiration...Linen Suit

 If I was still employed in an office, I would be all of this type of outfit.  I love the look of a pant suit.


This is Lafayette 148 Linen Canvas Collarless Jacket and Pant.  Price tag - Jacket: $1398.00, Pant: $798.00.  Details - Jacket: Slim fit, Jewel neckline, long sleeve, button closure, chest button patch pockets, bust darts, french piping, quilted cotton interior with thermore filling, high hip length, dry clean only, 100% linen;  Pant: full through hip and leg, zip closure, back waist darts, front slant and back welt pockets, mid-rise, full length, 100% linen, dray clean only.

This outfit is also shown with the following top (might as well make an outfit):


This is the Lafayette 148 Silk Charmeuse Bias Tank.  Price tag: $498.00. Details: a-line silhouette, v-neck, ultra thin straps, low hip length, lined, 100% silk, dry clean only.

Here is the pattern selections:


This is the True Bias Ogden PDF pattern.  I think this is a fairly good match.  The straps may be wider than the inspiration photo.  That is a design element that you are allowed to change.


This is the Liesel & Co Hollywood Trousers pattern.  You can get it either paper or pdf version.  This is a classic trouser pattern and well worth fitting and making over and over.  The waist may be higher than the inspiration photo.


This is Vogue 7975.  It is not an exact match to the inspiration pattern.  I do not think it is as boxy but it is the only current pattern I could find. It might be worth searching out Claire Shaeffer's patterns for this one.

Hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.

Happy Stitching!
