DIY inspiration:on-off zipped sleeves

I love this jacket! One jacket two souls.Plain classic front with super studded sleeves.
Do you have a job interview after a rock concert?You just unzip sleeves and go.
I can't wait to try it.
These kind of clothing are versatile,they can be adapted according to the situation.You don't need a leather jacket and a leather waistcoat,you get both in one cloth.
Zippers are a fantastic way to add functionality to a cloth,for example to transform a dress from day to night add a zipper to your knee-lenght day dress at the mini skirt height.After a day of work, you unzip that band of fabric at the bottom and you obtain a mini dress for the night without going at home to change your outfit!

DIY lab: the zippy dress

Hi sweet readers, today i bring to your attention the zippy dress. The dress you see above is by Sebastian Errazuriz but we can sew our own. This dress is dynamic and can change with your mood or as necessary. You can litterally cut off pieces and have a different style. As you go out the office you can open two or three zips off and you get a shorter skirt for your evening.
This dress has a wow effect but is super easy to do. It does not require any pattern!
To do this project:

• measure yourself carefully (bust,waist,hips)
  
• take your bigger measure (hips) and buy a bunch of zippers of this length.These zippers can be expensive so you'd better buy in bulk on ebay, these are metallic
  
• start to fasten the zippers with pins, put just the borders one onto another and start building your "fabric"; follow your measures, you can use a dress you already own as guideline
  

• pay attention to leave all the closures at the center back. Make an ideal straight line with them
• the difficult part is to cut the zippers at the right lenght. You have to cut them and secure the end as needed following your silhouette line (leave enought space to move into the dress).
• sew the zippers together and you've done
  

now, you say how i put on this dress? there are zippers everywhere but not where needed.
I would put snap buttons

under the side of the zip that remains attached to the dress when the zipper is cut off. Snap buttons would remain invisible. With this type of closure you'll have to close all the buttons to wear the dress. This can be time consuming but if you don't want a "dynamic" dress on the top but still like the look then you can just sew another zipper vertically and open the dress to wear it easily, you can buy a different zipper for this purpose a all black one that will remain quite invisible.
Have fun with your new dress!
