Stripes! Inspiration and Thoughts
I just bought a striped knit fabric (and lots more fabric shhhht :) and I am trying to decide what to do with it. I’d rather sew a dress or a skirt, not a top, but I havent’ decided if I want the garment to be girlie, fancy or really casual.
Stripes are normally casual, aren’t they? But they can also be really elegant or fun, and that’s what seems to interest me most at the moment. Why make your own clothes if you don’t have fun with cuts and fabrics?
Images from here, (second row) here and here, (third row, starting right) here, here and here.
What do you think? Do you like stripes? What would you make/buy?

I really like all of them, but I must admit that the fancy one spoke to me the most, but i find the casual ones more likely to be worn (of course :) )

So true :D
One must find her own fancy occasions :)

I love stripes! I can never get enough stripes. I really love the stripe dress in the first picture. It is super versatile but feminine!

Me too :) It’s all Beetlejuice’s fault.
Thanks for the comment :)
