For this fit, I knew that I wanted to keep a professional look but add some flare to it, So I got a pinstripe suit from the thrift store and matching fabric from my local fabric store. For the suit, I took the sleeves off so that I could add a puffer sleeve. I tailored the bodice of the piece to fit similarly to a corset, with lace lined in the seam. For the skirt, I smocked the matching material panels then used the collar and buttons from the dress shirt to line the skirt and ties on the sides for more flare.
For this fit I wanted to get into a more ancient theme, for the pants I got canvas from my local fabric store and made a Thai fisherman pant style pant that is a loose fitting pant, I added part of a tapestry that I had lying around for some flare that still fits the theme of the outfit. For the top, I smocked equilateral triangles and quilted them together with a brocade seam flare.

My inspiration came mostly from seeing people's outfits in other fashion shows, for Sharif's outfit, I took inspiration from the fact that he has family in Egypt, so I took a more ancient style approach. Maintaining linen and gold themes.
