I thrifted this vintage dress a while back and pretty much forgot all about it. I was scanning through looks from the Met Gala and saw Michaela Coel’s blue sequin all-in-one look. It reminded me of this vintage dress that I had sitting on my to-do list for the longest. So I took that as…

I wanted to find a way to make a quick bustier without sacrificing fit. But I wasn’t sure if it was at all possible to achieve the…

I’ve had this bed skirt sitting in my stash since I did the first bedskirt remake. I thrifted them both around the same time so this one has been laying around for about a year. The trim is obviously what caught my eye and I loved that the fabric was medium weight and not at…

The idea behind it was to get creative and put together an outfit using ONLY thrifted fabrics or clothing, along with what you…

DIY Upcycle: Box Pleated Skirt Outfit Set

[VIDEO] Upcycled Box Pleat Skirt Set + 3 Ways to Wear

August 21, 2018 | Tiffany
Refashions+ DIY

I admit, this was the first box pleated skirt I’ve ever done. I’ve always avoided flared skirts on a whole because (in my eyes) I found them to be unflattering on me. Generally, I’d go for more subtle A-line styles. Besides, it didn’t help that I had nowhere to wear them. When I thought of the…

Every time I visited a certain department at the thrift store, I saw these “things” more than anything. Figured maybe it’s cause they’re dated. A few times I wanted to get a couple and see what I could do with them but kept putting it off. Especially when it came time to narrow down my…

This is probably the quickest and easiest upcycle This is probably the quickest and easiest upcycle I’ve ever done, and the results speak for themselves. ✂️ I whipped this up in just a couple of hours, with most of the time spent removing the turtleneck lol. No sewing machine required. Just a few snips here and there and a bit of hand sewing. 🎀 Oh, and it’s reversible too! In the video, I simply reversed the top for steps 1 & 2 😁 Full tutorial on my channel #linkinbio

I had this vintage dress and an idea to upcycle it I had this vintage dress and an idea to upcycle it by incorporating the belt buckle as a decorative accent. Coming up with the idea was the easy part. Figuring out how to make it work was another challenge. 🤦‍♀️ 

I actually had to sleep on it for a couple of days because I wanted the buckle to be removable. I was worried it might tarnish in the wash. 🤷‍♀️

That’s when it hit me, Why not make the dress convertible? In the end, I transformed it into a two-piece set! ✂️ It turned out to be one of my most versatile and favorite remakes so far. Check out the tutorial to see how everything came together! 💃🏻
