This creation began with the amazing find of a crinoline skirt in this group's local charity shop. 

Evalina, Adam, and Ola built their design around its striking shape, adding a purple layer made from a preloved bedsheet, complete with an elasticated waist and gathered back. 

Black ruffles came from a scarf, and the overskirt was crafted using sheer fabric from a secondhand dress, finished with bows made from curtain samples and an old Halloween costume. A donated purple top from a teammate’s mum fit the colour scheme perfectly, and the detachable sleeves were cleverly made by combining two preloved tops.

The outfit is styled with charity shop necklaces to bring the design together.
