Jacket: We selected this beautiful striped sari to make into our first piece out of. The body panels feature the pink and purple stripes and the collar and hem incorporates the gold embroidered border that ran all the way around the 4m long sari. I lined it with midnight blue cotton, added pea sized wooden buttons on the sleeves and weighted the hem again to give the swing back a nice movement.
