Chaps




These were made from a pair of really old tacky suede pants I found at "Out of the Closet." I slit them down the back and sides and then hand sewed on panels of suede I'd cut and dyed a contrasting brown. (the photo here is pre-stitching...the final photo with Taylor on the runway shows how they look with the black hand stitching...) MUCH improved! You can see Taylor, my totally awesome model, wearing them for our first fitting. Wish they looked that good on me! The whole look was pulled together with a distressed mesh tank, hand dyed cheesecloth scarf and the custom Durango belt I made.
