Say hello (once again!) to Dafna, our customer profile of the week. Some of you probably recognize her from I Found That Vintage (formerly housed in the backroom at GRD), or Blue’s Hard Goods, or just from being a fashion inspiration around town :). Dafna is constantly scouring different thrift stores, estate sales, and vintage shops all over the country, and occasionally comes across a diamond in the rough. Case in point; this homemade, cowboy bandana, square dancing skirt. It’s so…so…SOMETHING, but it was not working as a skirt. Luckily, she held onto it, and brought it to us, with dreams of a breezy summer dress. First thing I did, during the fitting even, was remove the elastic. That way I could see how much fabric we had to work with, and – BONUS! – have this great photo op. A project like this required a couple of fittings, but Dafna was totally on-board, and gradually we cut the dress down to a much more manageable size.
