I know we are all desensitized by the mass made and mass marketed fashion already available in a wide range of styles, but what ever happened to alterations?
The seamstress I use for Evolution Vintage; YONG is a whiz at helping me make the old new again and bringing new life to old threads.
Case in point. I dresscued a 1980's dress in a shade of Emerald Green because the color is FAB, the neckline reminds me of the Theirry Mugler suits of the 80's and overall the dress can be re-styled current (the premise of EV).

I want to inspire others to think about how they can re-purpose a garment that they love ... instead of passing it up because it is too long, or to big, etc ... Creativity is KEY! I LOVE what you are doing. You will be the go-to lady for re-purposed wedding dresses! ;) you are finding your unique niche! xo keep DIY-ing. I ALWAYS look at your stuff!
