This group wanted to create a sustainable look that was fit for Ladies' Day at the races, made by sourcing unwanted clothing from home and their local charity shop. 

The dress is made up of denim and a blue satin dress with a cut out back detail.

The train is made of upcycled shirts, sewn together to create a patchwork, and shaped into a curve at the back. This train was made removable with buttons at the top. 

At the back of the dress you'll find a knitted panel, made with wool from a previous knitting project, which gives the dress some stretch and colour. 

The outfit is finished with a bag, made from denim jeans, and a headband and shoes, customised with embroidery, felt flowers and buttons.
