It’s wedding season, and Team Ginger Root has altered over 30 bridesmaid dresses in the past 3 months! It’s a nice break in the routine, and my favorite part is chatting with the different “chosen” ladies about the questionable nature of their appointed dresses. To be frank, I’ve seen some tasteful, beautiful gowns, and some real duds. But every bride honestly believes that their choice could “totally be worn again.” romper before2 blog

Eileen brought in her dress that she wore for her rehearsal dinner at her wedding. Obviously she wanted to hang on to it since it had some sentimental value :-) , but between the ruffle on the bottom and the oversized fit at the waist and armholes this dress wasn’t doing anything for her.

Beth came into the tailoring shop with one of her old jackets that was way too big for her as you can see! She wanted it recycled into something other than a jacket that she could wear again. After looking at a few pictures of our designs, she decided that she wanted it turned into one of our woven vests.
