Metamorphose transmute configuré mutate convert transfiguré alter transmogrify

A caftan style costume from an old sari.
It’s interesting how ideas transform themselves. I sometimes wonder if an idea ever really belongs to me, I often feel like I am simply the means.
Souvent, time dictates, usually because I have too much or not enough of it.
Generally I think too much and easily get caught up in the inspiration part of a project.
It happens before you know it and you realise that rather than actually making, you have spent an hour or two in front of Pinterest or a pile of books, tallying up everything you can and will do, salivating over the possibilities, sliding into inspiration oblivion!


This idea ended up a lot simpler and quicker to achieve than when first imagined, though still having the aesthetic punch I’d hoped for. Regularly it’s the materials that lead the way: use what you have and improvise. The caftan alone is nothing special but teamed up with a few accessories, it looks great.
