An Item for My Closet of Wanting

I want this skirt.

I was on gURL today and someone posted this exact picture, wanting to make a similar version of it. According to her, it’s a Balmain creation and that apparently means it’s bogus expensive. She asked for help so I offered as good a breakdown of the skirt as I could, and in doing so realized how much fun it would be to make.

I’m off to tinker with some leather scraps I have and see if I can make it work in my size. If I can work in some tulle, I’ll head to the store and buy sequined fabric. Also, chainmail kits. I highly doubt they sell finished chainmail anywhere in my price range.

Excited!

And you bet if I can make this work, I’ll post a tutorial. =)
