Cannot control myself when it comes to vintage pieces — especially handbags, skirts and jewelry. Picked up four dresses at Bohemia Gallery on Main Street in Vancouver and am getting them altered as I type. (Can’t sew my way out of a paper bag so I take my pieces to Susan’s Alterations, where my gal is always appalled by how short I want the hemline.)
Below are the “before” shots.
When I pick them up next week, I’ll post the “after” shots.
This one, to me is the funniest — kind of an 80′s take on Anne of Green Gables. I’m having the shoulder pads removed, the sleeves shortened and the hemline raised.
And the piece that is so perfect, I wouldn’t touch it at all:
Wow – i can’t wait to see how those pieces turn out. especially that one shouldered number.
