Thrifted suit to drag costumefrom @nat.han.ley

[01]

Overview

The creator tries on an ill-fitting thrifted leopard print suit, then shows a quick glimpse of it styled in drag. They then document the process of tailoring the garments, including drawing cut lines, sewing, and pinning, before revealing the final, perfectly fitted peplum top and skirt modeled both in and out of full drag makeup and accessories.
