A chic upcycled project using an 80s jumpsuit gem.
One word: JUMPSUIT!!! I was beyond in love with this piece and honestly, if it wasn’t so tight in the crotch-al area (you gals know what I mean) I would have made this work. Unfortunately circulation was being cut off and it just wasn’t meant to be. Here's a quick project to upcycle those dated pieces!

    Stitch down the new seams and create a new hem at the bottom of the garment.
