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If you have a favorite--stained, out of date or shape, ill-fitting--skirt or sweater or other garment whose fabric or trim you still love, but the item never leaves your closet--let us refashion it for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.
