At Lyric
Couture,
in addition to our own inspirations, we also transform beloved clothes from your closet into new fashions. It can be as simple as re-sizing, or as complex as cutting, collaging & re-designing. Here is a partial list (the possibilities are endless) of things we can do for your languishing loves:
* shorten or shrink
* lengthen or widen by piecing
* modify neckline & sleeves
* change the buttons
* overlay or replace stained areas
* bleach, de-color, dye, print or paint
* refit & reshape with darts, seams, panels, godets etc.
* trim or decorate with new (old?) fabrics, lace, yarn etc.
* modify styling, such as pullover into cardigan
* collage several of your pieces together into a new garment
If you have a favorite--stained, out of date or shape, ill-fitting--skirt or sweater or other garment whose fabric or trim you still love, but the item never leaves your closet--let us refashion it for you.
Before & After pics:
A baggy, crinkled silk DKNY 80s dress with plain shirt
buttons & notched collar--out of fashion, out of shape,
but of lovely fabric--turns into a new dancey dress. With
collar removed & neckline recut to decollate, new
decorative buttons added, four darts sewn from bust to hip
for sexier fit, six godets made of a flowered silk scarf
inserted for flair, sleeves shortened to a more flattering
length, & flowered-scarf binding for accent--the result
is a contemporary reference to the 30s & a fresh look.
