WHAT IS A BASE WARDROBE?

BASICS
This is a selection of garments that all perfectly match one another but can also be worn with other items in your wardrobe to make complete outfits.
With more time to sew, it’s easier than you think to make a wardrobe of basics that you will love to wear time and time again JEANS Every wardrobe should have at least one pair of jeans, which can be teamed up with a camisole and jacket for a smarter look or with a knit top for more casual occasions. These skinny jeans from Closet Case are a must-make! Ginger Jeans, Closet Case Patterns Sizes 0-20, $16 www.closetcasepatterns.com
