To UpCycle

Sometimes I am not exactly sure what term to use, upcycle, redesign, repurpose, so I use them all.

Whatever you want to call it I love it. I love being able to find a dated but otherwise perfectly fine garment, whether it be one that I could take down a few sizes, like the lace blouse in my shop or this red velvet dress I restructured just this week.  It feels great to bring these items back to life. Originally this red dress was full length, with full length long sleeves and was somewhat ill-fitting.

Clara Bow Does IT Herself

Clara Bow delivers a classic revamp of  her work dress into an appropriate dress for dinner at the Ritz (or at least what she thinks is an appropriate dress;) The dress turned out pretty amazing considering how she butchered that collar!  Love it!
