This week we introduce you to our lovely customer, Erin! Erin has brought us a lot of items that usually need small adjustments to be wearable. For her most recent fitting she brought us this strapless dress and explained that she loved the color and fabric of the bottom (which was a lightweight, soft woven fabric with pockets!) , but felt that it just didn’t work as an actual dress because of the knit top.  It was easy to see why: the stretchy top part of the dress was not big enough for any woman to cover up even a strapless bra.  This was an unfortunate patterning uh-oh from the manufacturer.  In addition for strapless garments, they generally need to be anchored at the waist so they don’t fall down :s  Moral of the story, we suggested turning this into her new staple summer maxi skirt, pockets ‘n all!

Charlie, our PR aficionado and shop lady, brought us this purple dress she’d received from her grandmother. Cute pattern! But the drop waist and the length were out of date and not Charlie’s style, and in general are hard for a woman to pull off.
