But I'm excited seeing what you did here.

Even without taking it in, it had almost completely transformed :) Should have taken a picture of that!

I doubt I would classify you as an old lady, because I don't really classify any ladies that way :) Like I said, it is definitely a style classification. I feel like this blouse would be lovely on a woman of any age because I don't feel that it is too trendy or "young"...what do you think? I'd love to cover a variety of styles as I continue and will appreciate any feedback in regards to types of refashions/tailoring that my readers (of any age, gender, size, etc) would like to see! Hoping to use my husband as a guinea pig to do a month's worth of menswear refashions...again, thank you for your comment!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564644196649411820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902259721371258531.post-48205554763594284112014-01-24T21:14:14.733-08:002014-01-24T21:14:14.733-08:00I love how you saw a lot of potential in the blous...I love how you saw a lot of potential in the blouse.

I want to do a piece on the thrift store I go to (just the one) and then start itemizing the things I pair my refashions with (as they are almost always thrifted and/or refashioned). Great feedback! I will also start throwing in a "fail" project now and then (as it does happen) and then a followup on it (because it is never a permanent fail!). I'll keep developing these kinds of things as I go, so keep me accountable ;)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564644196649411820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902259721371258531.post-53045191506973592572014-01-24T15:35:58.235-08:002014-01-24T15:35:58.235-08:00Firstly it's amazing what an iron can do.

If you can would also love to know what thrift stores you get your finds from and how much you paid as it all adds to the refashioning story. Oh and I like to find out about any difficulties experienced during the process.<br /><br />Kazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03904130601952696620noreply@blogger.com
