Most of my "re-inventions" have been those boxy, unflattering, velvet jackets popular in the late 70's. They are usually found in burgundy, chocolate, or black. the fabric is good but the shape is unsightly! I then like to look deep into the overall color and pull out the undertone, the overtone, or the contrasting color. And so, hunting for thread, ribbons, and buttons I go. This is the best part! Off with the arm! Off goes the other arm! Snip! Snip! There goes the side seam... Out come the shoulder pads! And then I restitch until I have a shape that is flattering and romantic. Imagine that - a cinched waist! A beautiful bow, velvet trim, antique buttons (maybe even my grandmothers'). Each piece is truly an original. And I can transform a skirt or a dress too. Prices start at $50.
