This Custom Dark Green Shorts Suit With White Top was made by Brigid Momanyi for a graduation look that combined a tailored blazer, high-waisted shorts and a separate white blouse. It is a useful example for anyone planning a custom women’s shorts suit and wanting to see how fabric choice, color updates and fit adjustments shaped the finished outfit.
- Request: The brief developed into a dark green shorts suit with a white top, inspired by a smart occasion outfit for graduation and tailored to the wearer’s measurements.
- Final result: The finished set included a dark green coat-style blazer, matching shorts and a white blouse, creating a coordinated three-piece outfit with a dressy but modern look.
- Design details: The blazer was finished with two gold buttons, the shorts were made as a high-waisted style, and the top was completed in white crepe after a brighter white stretch cotton was not available.
- Fit and use: The shorts length was shortened from the first measurement to better match the intended reference style, and the crotch area was slightly adjusted to improve the final fit and silhouette.
- Process: Public progress photos documented the making stage, and the published customer feedback later confirmed that the completed suit had the fit and quality they wanted.

A request by Victoria from Ruaka, Kiambu, Kenya
Hello, I would like a shorts-suit in the arctic blue color made for my graduation, the outfit should be ready and delivered within a week. I have shared photos of the blue shade I need for the suit. The suit should look like the pink one in the photos I have shared, while the top should look like the one in the third photo (the one with the lady wearing a white top and a pair of blue jeans). The suit should be in either of the two shades of blue in the photos I have shared.

Hey Vicky,
I would love to realize the idea. But i would like a few clarifications from your end.
Firstly, i cant see the top picture worn with blue jeans, kindly share
Second, kindly share your measurements to facilitate execution of the suit. For more clarity, kindly send the following measurements;
Shoulder
Bust
Bodice
Coat length
Waist
Hips
Crotch depth
Thigh
Short length
Sleeve length
Wrist
Hi Brigid, thanks for your response. Will share my measurements before the end of the day. Also, I'd like to change the colour to a different shade of green. Will share two photos, one of the top I was talking about and another of the shade of green I want.
Morning Brigid, sorry for this late response. Here are the measurements you wanted.
Shoulder: 15
Bust: 33
Bodice: 15
Coat length: 27
Waist: 27
Hips: 39
Short length: 20
Sleeve length: 22
Wrist: 8
Crotch depth: 27
Thigh: 22
The material should be cotton. And the top/blouse should be white in colour.
I shall share the greens I find Monday then we can commence production.
The suit can't be made in cotton material unfortunately.
Oh, why not? Also, will it be ready and delivered by this coming friday?
It can be ready by Friday but unfortunately only.the white top can be made in white stretch cotton. As for the suit it unfortunately can't. Given the fact that cotton is expensive and only found in limited colors. A cotton polyester blend dubbed ribbon or turkey can make the suit or mint fabric depending which of the fabric we can get it in the green.
Okay, that's still okay. Just go ahead with the best material you'll find.
I shall send the color pictures early tomorrow once you make the decision we commence production
Okay. Still waiting.
Hey Vicky I have attached the colors. So once you make your pick we commence production.
Hi Brigid, I can't see the colors clearly, but I think the first image with deep green is the one I want. so if it's really dark green then use it.
Yes it's super dark green guess the lighting.
Okay, thank you for the feedback will get right on it
Crafting Process
How to make a Custom Dark Green Shorts Suit With White Top – work in progress
Good afternoon Vicky, kindly just one clarification.
I purchased the fabric and want to start making the coat tomorrow. Was kindly asking with regards to the shorts, isn't 20 inches a bit too long? If you are comfortable with the length I can proceed with it as is
Oh, okay then just make it as short as the pink suit in the photos I sent. Say around 15?
That should be about 17, 18 on the higher side.
Great.
I shall proceed
Okay
Good morning Vicky.
I am done working on the coat I will attach two gold buttons to go through with the coat.
The cotton stretch I have found isn't brilliant white but I would advise going with Canadian fabric crepe for the top it will give the same.
Currently working on this. I have cut out all patterns out just down to stitching.
I will send more photos today on the progress and final pictures of the fit and if approved send out the same today
Hi Brigid, it's okay then. There are some adjustments I needed made on the shorts, the crotch length should be reduced slightly. Also, I dont understand the photos you have sent.
Hey Vicky, we are mandated to send progress photos so I was showing you my progress.
I will make the necessary crotch change. So it's a low rider short and not a high waist short?
No, it should be high waist. Just a small adjustment.
Hey Vicky I am done realizing your order.
Kindly find attached pictures of the finished outfit.
Hi Brigid, I really like it. I just hope it fits perfectly. Thank you so much.
