pimp my ride
I'd love to see some of your favorite custom pieces- stuff you modified or someone modified for you. Can include tailoring, embellishing, destroying etc. Anything one-of-a-kind.

Re: pimp my ride
I made these out of some too-small apcs that were sitting in my closet for years, some grey naked and famouses I found at a goodwill and some levis. Left the fly as a weird little pocket I never use. I've done a lot of diy/messing around with clothes out of a compulsion to make fashion a productive hobby rather than a consumptive one and these are one of the few things I can still say I'm genuinely proud of.

Some one else posted so now I can share the jacket and some other bits
I also have these jeans that are legitimately falling apart I'm trying to hang onto. Embroidered patches are from xinijia
and these fatigues that I embroidered but I also cropped and tapered them quite poorly so they hang a little weird

Embroidered/bound darts on an old knit tank top. If you've seen Kepler London, that was my inspo!

Re: pimp my ride
This is a cheap crosspost but these pants from my WAYWT post:

they're Dickies double-knees that I bought 14 sizes up and hacked apart to add double pleats in the front and a box pleat in the back, then cut the hems off to length

Re: pimp my ride
Quick experiment on an xl ribbed sweater- used cream yarn to weave a diamond mesh net. Same kind as a basketball net (o: >
I liked this sweater except it bunched at the center/waist.. the net panel cut down the bulk and helped it drape better.

Re: pimp my ride
double post today- a while ago I got this lime green large sweater and envisioned making it look like morning grass. I pressed layers of bleached and dyed foliage into the sweater to create plant 'shadows', then sewed free-form spiderwebs throughout. topped it off with some 'dew' beading.
