    Black & grey fitted styles were always my go-to colours/shapes too. Now I'm 64 (and mostly silver haired) I find that browns & beiges suit my colouring better and looser fits are so much more comfortable. If I were being honest, I should have transitioned in my 40s, but pride (and working in a corp environment) held me back. Well done for trying it sooner than I did. You look lovely in your finds. 😊

    Fabulous haul!
    Here's a fool proof way to tell if fabric is silk. Try to get a couple strands or small piece from scrap or from where it won't show. Then light it with a lighter. If it smells like human hair when it burns, it is silk. If it melts, it's poly or some other synthetic. Really works!

    Last year I thrifted a like new cashmere sweater from Neiman Marcus for $1.64! It was my first experience in the clothing by the pound section of Salvation Army. I don't know why it was relegated to that section, but it was a great find.

    I buy lots of clothes from charity shops, high end labels are a fraction of the new price but have never thought of making alterations if a garment was too big. Your tutorials are giving me food for thought, I will now look more closely at items I like but need tweaking in some way. Xx

    Love your fall haul! Maybyou can advise me. A couple years ago i bought a pair of never worn Pendleton fully loned wool plaid women's trousers (mostly grey with a touch of camel & winter white). I had originally planned to overdye them & use them as fabric in wool applique projects but i tried them on & the waist & hips fit perfectly. I think id get more use out of them if I could turn them into a pebcil skirt rather than leave them as trousers. The only pants into skirts ideas that I've seen on RUclips has the crouch lines ss part of the 'design' & looks very '60s hippy. These are way too elegant for that- think Katharine Hepburn.
    Thanks for all the great videos you've posted. Im sure your students love you!

    Pants style, color, etc. is really nice. But the original maker didn't cut the fabric correctly, making the stripes twisted. Maybe that's why the original owner gave them away?
