Today’s DIY is inspired by the fabulous Elizabeth and James feathered blazer worn above by Krystal, Chiara, and Anh. While I love myself a white blazer anytime of the year, I feel that you can add some fun, frothy feathers to any structured piece to add movement, so I decided to update my black vest. I definitely suggest picking a piece that hits at least at your hip- anything shorter will add too much volume to your waist. So instead of paying $665 for the E&J version, we get a simple look alike for around $10!
Supplies:
1. Jacket or vest in any color
2. Scissors
3. Fabric Glue or E6000 Glue and optional nozzle
4. Pins
5. 2-3 yds of feather trim. I chose faux feathers for $5/yd from Mood, but you can get all types of real feathers for $20-$30 a yard if you so desire. They come in tons of colors and shapes, including the light wispy ones on the E&J blazer.
{I chose to alternate the direction of the feathers}
{Make sure you add the trim below any pockets!}
