Lauren had a black top with lace portions, thus she needed to wear a t-shirt under it and wanted a colored one as it would show through the lace. She found a green athletic fit t-shirt at the Thrift outlet for 25cents). Worn under the black top it was too bulky, and the v-neck conflicted […]

Two Dresses become a Two-in-One skirt
What’s better than one awesome skirt? a two-in-one! We found the dress with the lace first (it was originally a spaghetti strap dress – we started cutting before taking a picture). We couldn’t simply turn the dress into a skirt as the lining was too tight, so we removed the lace from the lining. After some […]
Beaded Neckline Prom Dress
Although Sierra was happy with the black lace overlay on the grey dress for Simply Prom- it’s not what she wanted to wear to her school prom. The 2nd dress that she bought at Bluebird resale shop, was the color she had hoped the original dress she ordered online would be. The cut of the […]

Lace Overlay Prom Dress
Finding the right dress for prom is hard and finding a modest dress even harder. Sierra found and ordered a modest prom dress online – however when it came she was not happy with the color – it was bubblegum pink, not the pale pink it appeared in the picture on the website. The dress […]

Having asked a date to Winterball, Devyn needed a dress and sent me the following text: Resale shops are great places to get formal gowns on a small budget. You just need time to find the right one, and with a little creativity make any alterations needed – which I offered to help with. Devyn took […]
