In St.-Petersburg in Russia where I came from we used to say: "summer was hot and dry. It's a pity I was working that day". Here in Brisbane we can say: "winter was really nasty, and it took the whole weekend!"Australian winter allows us to dress our best, to take out suits, jackets, even boots and coats... sometimes. And I think this is really great.
Not bad look, I think. What we have here:
-flowery top from H&M, $20
-pants from Cotton On, $15 (special)
-booties from Ecco, $100 (approx., I don't remember)
-JACKET made by myself
This is not a regular jacket. I made it when I studied Haute Couture sewing techniques It was a Chanel-type jacket course and it was taught by a New York fashion designer Yana Brink (Yana Brink).

| Soft fall of the fabric is the main idea of hand sewing |
Fabric is an Italian mixed one, wool + silk, and it is absolutely gorgeous to touch.
Pattern has been draped on a mannequin.
A lot of hand sewing, it is Haute Couture!
Buttonholes were made by hand, of course.
The main idea of hand sewing is softness, tenderness, free falling of the fabric.
