Waste not, want not

I have this lovely baju kurung that I wore during my convocation more than two years ago. However, since baju kurung usually is limited to certain occasion, it rarely spent its time outside the closet.

Luckily, I learn how to make a dress quite recently and decided to modify the baju kurung to a more wearable dress. It's kinda tricky since I have to work with fabric cut to a baju kurung. Nevertheless, the project work and dress is awesome. It spent more time outside the closet! It's a fitted dress with pleated skirt, boat neck and long sleeve. The sleeve includes a closure for better fit at the wrist.
