This upcycled summer look took inspiration from B*witched and Taylor Swift. The young designers ensured not to use anything new, so asked family and friends to donate unwanted items of clothing for this outfit. 

The skirt has been made by cutting a pair of jeans just below the back pockets and adding layers of frayed denim to create the desired length. The waistcoat has also been made from a pair of jeans which have been cut, reshaped and finished with a sewing machine. 

The team added colourful embroidery, buttons and buttonhole detailing, and added a lace trim on the pockets of the skirt and the armholes of the waistcoat.
