Customer Profile: Bijal in Blue!
Remember Bijal? She brought us a tank top that we spruced up for her. At the time, she also brought in this lovely blue ensemble that included pants and a tunic. So pretty! But the pants were just a bit too wide and billowy.

Our Tailored Closet: Stars and Dots
So we admit that this outfit isn’t from one of our closets, but from our buddy Alyssa’s. She came in to drop off a pair of pants she wanted worked on and lo and behold, she was wearing this cute vintage ensemble. While we worked on both pieces for her, it’s Alyssa’s excellent taste and style that made it happen. Not to mention, it’s a great example of print mixing (without being too over the top).
Over a year ago we repaired this vintage skirt, which had cotton threads that were breaking down and falling apart. The star top was oversized, and instead of tailoring it in 8 inches, we brainstormed giving it a fun cropped hem that was a little shorter in back for that perfect little peep of midriff. Both are great examples of quick alterations we can do on those vintage pieces with much promise! It’s so fun to see these pieces out and about!

Customer Profile: Victoria’s Skirt
Ya’ll remember Victoria, right? She came in with an adorable peach ensemble that we trimmed down for her. Well, she also had a skirt that she was looking to spruce up. It was a nice skirt, but she never wore it. It hung in an odd place and she just wasn’t crazy about the overall look.

Customer Profiles: Sorrel
When Sorrel came in for her tailoring consultation, she had a TON of clothing. Blouses, pants, blazers, dresses…practically a wardrobe! The best part? ALL of them were designed in the 1980s. The whole thing was a veritable treasure trohv of shoulder-padded glory. While it was difficult to choose which ones she wanted to work on, she ended up choosing about four pieces, including this black and white dress.
