About a Dress #13

About a Dress #13
This week’s About a Dress is (once again) all about fall! The Gingers took this shapeless black velvet sack (which looks vaguely like the pink atrocity Molly Ringwald sports in “Pretty in Pink”), and remade it into a transitional piece to help you work into fall fashion.

Customer Profile: Kate

Kate brought us this darling dress. It had a lovely whimsical bird print and handy dandy pockets, but as Kate put it, it  hung on her like a sack.  It just didn’t have any shape to it. Kate-bird-dress-final-low-res

About a Dress #12

About a Dress #12
And we’re back! Refreshed after our recent renovation, we’re diving back into “About a Dress.” This week’s dress has a personal connection to Ginger Root. Jennifer Jeremias (DC jewelry designer- she makes the fabulous geometric cube earrings!) recently moved away from DC, and donated this dress for us to revamp. We’re already missing her smiling face, so this week’s “About A Dress” is our little “cheers” to Jennifer 🙂

Customer Profile: Shawna

hawna is one friendly and easy-going lady; we’ve loved working with her! When she brought us these pants, we were more than happy to help out. These olive-green trousers of hers were in perfectly good condition, but just a little too…basic. Not to mention, Shawna had owned them since high school and it was high time to freshen them up.

DC Dress Up: Keisha

Keisha wandered in on a cloudy and rainy day and I was immediately taken with her shorts and jacket combo (not to mention her hair). She came off as cool, relaxed and casual; just a DC woman strolling around and doing her thing. Even though denim jackets are considered a “must have” basic, it’s hard to make them look like anything more than a regular ol’ jacket. So props to Keisha, eh?

Also Keisha is a bona fide Washingtonian (born and raised in DC proper), which makes her even cooler.

Customer Profile: Liz

Normally, we feature customers who have had their garments tailored in our tailoring studio. However, after Liz sent us these pictures of outfits she’d put together for her new Upside Down Blouse, we just had to share them.

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Liz and her stylish ensembles!
