The idea from Sharon from :
Preferably pants and a coat
Can be a mix of silk/cotton with Kitenge lining or vice versa
I’ve attached two sample photos to give a rough idea of what I want
For the pants, if they’re made tight at the ankles, that be great!

Do let me know if that's the one you mean.
Many Thanks,
Nyambura.
As for pricing, these are two different items being tailored into a full suit. cost of labour is a bit higher than the material costs as different processes are being put into the jacket and the pants
Do let me know what you think. Otherwise, I’m ready to start with your go ahead.
Many Thanks,
Nyambura.
Production phase
Thank you for confirming the order. With receipt of the first payment, I trust that the choice of fabric and overall cost are in good order as I haven't seen your message on the same.
I shall get the agreed upon fabric tomorrow morning, get to working on it in the afternoon and update you on progress in the evening.
Many Thanks,
Nyambura.
Sorry about that. Yes, the photo you reuploaded is what I want. Looking forward to it!
Regards,
Sharon.
I picked the fabric today and have attached photos of the patterns and pattern pieces of the blazer and pants, I'll be using to construct the outfit.
More progress updates, tomorrow.
Many Thanks,
Nyambura.
Can’t wait to see the progress!

Sharon
So the good news is, I completed the outfit yesterday as I'd indicated. Sorry for the delay in updating due to a delay in the system.
Attached are photos of the progress in construction and the finished outfit.
Many thanks for the chance to make your idea come alive!
