When you find that perfect red set but it is not the right style for you.

I LOVED the color and buttons on this coat. However the suit set was shapeless, unflattering, and boring compared to the sass the buttons had. This jacket needed some curve!! To start, I cut the jacket in half and ditched the sleeves. The old pocket details were not flattering, so I kept the buttons in tact but lost everything else. In order to create the peplum shape for the jacket, I cut apart the skirt to add just the right amount of flare. To tailor the coat, I added princess seams to the front and the back. And finally I recut the armholes to keep this baby as a vest so you can wear it 3-4 seasons of the year.
