RECYCLE!!!

Hi Gals,

Here is a great question from Michelle in Montreal:

I have a very old dress from your collection circa 1993. I wore it to a Bar Mitzvah when I was 12. It’s a black mini-dress with a giant white off the shoulder neck with a giant black bow attached to it. I loved it and thought I was the belle of the ball, is it possible to still pull of that style? Should I continue to hold on to it, or should I let the 90's go?


First of all, I want to say...it sounds gorgeous, if I do say so myself.  In this age of being green, I think it's important to re-use as much as you can from your closet.  I am not for disposable attire.  Here is my suggestion...take the dress to a really great tailor in Montreal and talk to him or her about some options...shortening, adding sleeves, removing the bow or moving the bow.  This is a STYLE ALERT:  EVERYONE NEEDS A GOOD TAILOR, ONE YOU TRUST. Spending $50 on good alterations is better that $200 on a new dress.  So Michelle, do some research and see what you uncover.
