Chiffon Split-Sleeve Draped Dress Refashion: Before & After

DIY Split Sleeve Draped Dress Vintage Refashion

September 21, 2016 | Tiffany
Refashions+ DIY

Every time I looked at the once dated vintage chiffon dress with it’s ruffled bib cowl collar, I wondered, “How exactly was this worn?” For such a modest look, I would’ve loved to see how it was styled. Obviously it was paired with some form of underlay as it’s see-through. What really caught my eye…

With fall quickly approaching, it was time to sift through my wardrobe. I thought back to an old pair of cable knit tights sitting at the back of my drawer. They were super warm but I dreaded wearing them because it took wayyy too much effort to get them on. Once I did, they came…

I came across this chic pair of mule heels below one day while browsing google for lace-up flats. I was instantly head-over-heels! I thought they would make quite the fall statement.

This vintage number was from a lot I got on my first trip to Savers thrift store. I couldn’t get past the big and bold flowers printed along the end of the sleeves and hem. As soon as I picked it off the rack, I started mentally putting looks together and thought of the perfect…

Paisley Maxi Dress Refashion: Before & After

Maxi Dress Upcycle into Reversible 2 Piece Outfit

August 08, 2016 | Tiffany
Refashions+ DIY

I picked up this maxi dress a while back even though I wasn’t a big fan of the shirring (i.e. rows of gathers using elasticized threads) along the bust. What sold me on getting it was the print. Isn’t it funny how a print can greatly influence a purchase?! Anyways, the more I wore it,…

DIY Denim Skirt from Shirt + 5 Ways to Wear

August 01, 2016 | Tiffany
Refashions+ DIY

For the life of me, I can’t recall who or where I got this denim shirt from. It was likely from a relative or I snatched it from a reject pile during a spring cleaning event (one of my favorite pastimes). Either way, good quality denim is one of those things I can’t pass up. Originally,…

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! 💃🏻
