one classy outfit in a lady's wardrobe is the jumpsuit, you would agree with me that jumpsuits gives this unique and classy vibes, especially when paired with the right accessories, what's more interesting is that as a fashionable lady, depending on the style of the jumpsuit, you could just put on a jacket on your jumpsuit and it can move from a casual to a formal wear, some jumpsuits also depending on the chosen style can be rocked to the beach, party, or hangout with friends.

For mine, I decided to make a blend of both, it can be with as formal or casual wear, its called a kimono shirt jumpsuit. Kimono is a Japanese traditional wear, from my understanding, it's a cut-together sleeve outfit, meaning the sleeves are not separated from the main bodice and this style has taken over most of the modern fashion trends. stay tuned, and I hope you enjoy the process, as I also did while making this jumpsuit.

Materials/Tools used

• Light crepe fabric
• Buttons
• Collar Stay
• Thread

Sewing machine, measurement tape, and scissors

Process

Step 1

I started by drafting and cutting out the upper front and back pattern, as you can see from my explanation of what a kimono means, the body and the sleeves are not separated, but rather cut together. The front has two pieces while the back is on fold'

Step 2

I joined the above front and back pattern by the shoulder and folded the placket where the buttonhole and button will be fixed.

Step 3

I drafted and cut out the collar patterns and added collar stay at the wrong side of the fabric or more durability before joining all collar patterns together to form the collar

Step 4

I wanted turnup sleeves, so I cut out extra strips in a fold of 2.5 inches which I attached to both sides of the sleeves, and also sew my already made collar to the neckline of the upper bodice.

Step 5

Moving on, I drafted and cut out the lower part of the jumpsuit which is a trouser pattern, and added bands too, I attached sides pocket to the front part of the trouser, then them by the crotch and also to their upper sides,

And finally, hemmedned all by the sides, fix the buttons and hemed the trouser part. My beautiful Kimono Shirt jumpsuit is ready to be rocked.

I hope you find this DIY process easy to follow. So, would you rock this jumpsuit? I would love to know in the comment section, also tell me if you need more clarification on some parts, I will be more than happy to explain more.
