Sometimes when ordering merch from another country, you can't always get the size you want. Especially for those of us who like oversized hoodies! We took this one up 2 sizes by splicing in some new jersey panels.

This was a rush and an emergency! So we were working with what we had, and we only had 5 days to make this work. Ideally I'd prefer to have enough time to add in panels and really adjust for the best fit.
This young lady fit the front, but was a shorter torso, so the waist line for this dress started at her hips. This was a second hand dress, so we had permission to do whatever was needed.
We simply adjusted the zipper out as far as we could. Lowered the back line, so she'd have a nice open back. Removed the extra side bunching. Hemmed her skirts and added in a bustle.
The end goal is to make it look like it always fit perfectly!

😌I was thoroughly chastised by a sibling about my posting frequency recently. So, check out this transformation! We've all been there, what comes in the mail is not quite what it looked like in the pictures. Well there's still hope as you can see here.

While looking for a different rhinestone trim I found this one. 😍 I need to find a project that needs these crystal flower accents! If you have any ideas please list them in the comments. I just can't decide myself!

🫣 I'm so neglectful when it comes to sharing completed projects! Here's 2 that were so much fun! Upcycling items already in the closet to create a brand new look is always a cost effective way to customize looks to your own personal style. Love my ladies who make me get creative with their ideas

This may be a fail, but I'm trying to launch an interactive calendar so people can book their own times and see what is available. :) I know some hate having to ask people for times so this is an option for my more shy ladies and gents.

Some blue jeans editing! We have a jacket that we shortened the sleeves by moving the cuffs up and a cinched pleat to bring that waist in. A hem on zippered jeans. And a tapering to a jean skirt. We took in about 3 inches on each side to shift this from a casual skirt to a pencil skirt.

Were back in shop and rocking and rolling again! Check out this fun quick adjustment. 😊 This was a last minute order with a short turn around time. The straps had been taken in but left some beading bunched up and a little duck flap that we tidied up. Reinforced the cups and took in the sides a little more. During the fitting it came to light that the button loops were the wrong size and they popped! Even with the tight window we were able to correct everything she needed! 🥰💐 side note I will always fix any visible loose beading!

As you guys know, I'm currently in Connecticut helping out with my other passion. Plants and flowers! It's not my usual content, but since I take 1 week a month off I thought I'd share with you guys what I do during that time. If you didn't know, I'm also a florist. Here's some of the arrangements I sent out, enjoy some pretty flowers!

Finally getting on the ball and putting together a list of base pricing. :) I can't wait for everyone to live their best lives in great fitting clothes!
