This group created their very own fully upcycled summer outfit - out of a pair of jeans, two tops, a dress, and some pyjama bottoms!

They started by transforming the floral dress into a skirt base, carefully adding triangle denim panels from the jeans. They preserved the frayed edges for extra texture and character. The jeans' waistband became a fitted top, shaped with darts for a more tailored fit.

For the pockets, they reused the pyjama bottoms, adding those into the design with thoughtful details. They also salvaged the black star and Adidas logo from the old tops and repurposed them as design features on the front. 

The bows were made from the dress sleeves, cleverly sewn into tubes with wire inside to give them structure.
