Inspiration...Fringed Jacket & Skirt

 I am still finding things that are full of inspiration:

This is the Lafayette 148 Fringed Trimmed Linen Jacket and Fringed Trimmed Pencil skirt.  Price tags: jacket - $998.00, skirt - $498.00.  Details:  jacket - approximately 22-inches from shoulder to hem, crew neckline, button front, long sleeves, slim fit; skirt - sits high on the hip, back slit is approximately 13-long, pencil silhouette, invisible back zipper.

Here are a couple of patterns that I think will duplicate the look:

This is Vogue 1992.  The pattern includes 2 jackets version, a skirt, and pants.  View B is the jacket that I think will work.  You might need to shorten it a little bit.  

The is Burda Styla 8155.  The pattern has 2 skirt versions.  View B will work well for the inspiration skirt.  I would change the waistband to be similar to this tutorial.  It will make the skirt closer to the inspiration photo.

The fringe...it is the most important part of this inspiration.  I looked for written tutorials and did not really find anything.  Threads might have information.  I found reference to Claire Shaeffer having instructions for fringing.  She did have a jacket pattern that had the information.  Maybe you can find a copy.  

Now I am going to say if you are going to make a suit, you might as well invest in making a matching pant.  This was popular in the 80s/90s.  If you are carefully with the color selection, this can be a big boost to a working wardrobe.

Happy Stitching!
