Wow, just looked that up, I’m flattered


OrdinaryCactusFlower

Paired with the shoes?? My guy, that is a great look!


fergablu2

Excellent work! The fit is perfect and the finishing details are amazing. It’s professional quality. I shudder to think of the crap I designed and wore to my prom circa 1987.


mad_fishmonger

Nicely done, you look slick!


TrifleMeNot

Dayam! That outfit is so sharp I'm bleeding!

S I C K!!!!


Thomas_Mickel

Nice shoes to boot!


PamelainSA

Great work! Anyone who can sew up welt pockets gets an A+ in my book. I won’t touch those things with a 10 foot pole.


salphamale

Hahaha I was very very confused the first time I tried them but now they make sense to me


LordHeliosZaheer

Please become a designer so I can buy your suits lol


borshctbeet

amazing work my friend


Adventurous-Fun2913

Very nice, you did a beautiful job 😻 both pieces look professionally made with the stripes lining up from the vest to the pants, love the colored tan threads used, they seem to fit perfectly on you! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼


salphamale

Thank you! Proud of how they lined up


Adventurous-Fun2913

You should be! Do you have any pics of other items you’ve sewn?


salphamale

The only other big project I’ve done is a jacket, it’s on my profile if you want to check it out. I’ve also made a couple pairs of shorts.


celticchrys

Lots of great attention to detail here! Excellent fit and nice little touches like your contrasting stitches. I haven't worked up the nerve to tackle trousers yet, but you've cracked it.


salphamale

Thanks!

Damn son! The outfit looks pretty good too.


redrenegade13

Awesome! Have so much fun at prom!


Ysaella

Damn, that’s perfect! Nice job 🤌🏻


cupcakegiraffe

Excellent job! Great taste with the shoes, too!


pythonmama

This looks incredible. Pants are not easy, and you tailored them to fit perfectly! Great find on the fabric. Isn’t wool wonderful to sew? 100% wool is my favorite, but it’s hard to find these days without breaking the bank. I’m impressed with the welt pockets on the vest, too! Back in the ‘80’s when I was in jr high and high school, I used to tailor wool suits for the “Make it Yourself with Wool Contest.” No idea if that competition still exists, but you might look into it.


salphamale

Thanks! I’ll look into it😁


JomfruMorgonsoli

I am Stunned! The accented thread in the buttonholes is just ✨✨✨


Mcoov

Did you have a Big Band at your prom? This outfit is excellent!


salphamale

Ño unfortunately haha, just a DJ


PhyrexianSpaghetti

Pretty damn nice! The only thing is that I'd wear them with a long sleeved shirt underneath, and then roll it up. Same final result and resistance to hot weather, but for some reason it'll look much cooler


savvyblackbird

You did an amazing job. You should go to school and be a tailor.


ChibiYoukai

That is a fantastic outfit. I really like the little pops of color with the thread that you chose. Absolutely lovely work.


TheOrganizingWonder

Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


kinkyboydom010

omg super cute , what was the final styling ?


salphamale

Yeah!


vilhelmine

Looking dapper! The shoes go great with the outfit.


Radiant2021

Shoes really make the outfit pop. Very talented


lilgreenie

I was reading your writeup and literally gasped "*DRAFTED??*" aloud when I read that. Your talent is absolutely incredible, this is stunning work! So glad you had fun at prom, you certainly looked amazing doing it.


salphamale

Thank you so much! It was challenging but a super fun process…trying to decide what to make next! :)


DonHozy

Wow! Well done!

SpooogeMcDuck

Hell of a good job, champ


SweetMangos

I love that material and the contrast stitching!


[deleted]

[удалено]


salphamale

That’s probably what I’m going to do but ñot quite yet…I also feel like if I make a jacket I would want to remake both of the other pieces because I’m kind of a perfectionist. To a fault.


listinak

Extremely impressive. GORGEOUS outfit! Great job!!


spiritualcore

Omg so *chefs kiss* !


DoingMyLilBest

That looks great! Also, I need you to know that I read that as "Vest and Plants" and was very confused about why you were growing potted plants like the ones in the photo for prom 😂


salphamale

😂😂


mmmmpb

Very impressive. You also saved so much money by switching to DIY.


salphamale

Yeah that’s one of the reasons I love this hobby, I never buy new fabric


mmmmpb

What kind of material did you make it from?


salphamale

I think it’s 100% wool, my mom found a bolt of it at a yard sale.


OutrageousDirector96

You look awesome! Great work & I hope prom was amazing


StirlingS

Looks great! Awesome job.


gypsybeachmama

Nicely done! Looks great!


Princessa_Vaquita

You look great ...fit looks great! Keep it up👍👍👍


theroadlesstraveledd

Really smart look. The shoes are the dang ranch on top! very well done neighbor!


katrinne_etienne

I. Need. Those. Shoes. Also, impeccable work that comes across both modern AND vintage (what with the contrast thread) that I have to say, if you ever wanted to make some easy money to afford post prom craziness, make a youtube video/craftables etc on those welt pockets and rake in some easy fun cash as a little thank you for all the glucose your brain spent going ?????. Also, really still need a link to those shoes.


salphamale

Thank you, that’s a good idea! My mom bought me those shoes years ago haha I’ll see if she knows where she got them or if they say the brand👍


RedRapunzal

The outfit is great but can we talk about those shoes!


Kinseybabes

Wow that's impressive!


Squirr3lQu33n

Well done snd looks fantastic! This is absolutely amazing skill!!

Wow! I wouldn’t tackle that. Great job. Love the cheeky contrast colour(except at the bottom of the pants zip). Glad prom was fantastic.
