And here's an example of customizing. I was very lucky to have found this Vintage 70's coat in a solid brown for next to nothing.
But there was still something missing...until I was inspired to appliqué the pocket flaps with my beloved heart-fabric, which some of you may remember I used for this bag and frame purse.
I get a lot of appreciative (and sometimes jealous) looks when I wear this coat! So much more fun than the basic black suit, don't you agree?
Have an inspired weekend!

You are SO talented Duni! I just love your style :-)You really have inspired me!
ReplyDeletevisit u here and follow u too..hope u follow mine too...
ReplyDelete70's...are you kidding?! Have you seen pics of me as a kid in the 70's and that horrible stuff my mom made me wear?! Just awful! Good thing you have taste and can pick out "cool" stuff from the 70's. You should give my mom a lesson then send her back in time :)
ReplyDeleteI prefer the 40's myself. Such a more drastic style change and not quite so easy to pick up pieces at your local thrift shop. But I am always on the hunt for patterns from the 40s...it's amazing how the sizes changed over time! I'm a size 3...in the 40's it would have been a size 16 or 18!!! Crazy, huh?
Duni, you are so creative! When I saw the blouse my first thought is that I had that back when I was younger!! I love the detail you added to the color and the coat is awesome with the heart fabric.
ReplyDeleteThat coat is wonderful! The heart fabric is a lovely touch!
ReplyDeleteThere is many sun here Duni

ReplyDeleteWhat great way to make something old new again! (BTW....I think Pat would like Miss Audrey!)
ReplyDeleteYou are really talented Duni :)

You are SO fashionable. I am so not surprised.
ReplyDeleteI think you should be on Project Runway! You'd do so well...only problem wpuld be dealing w/ HK hehe ;)
Those who follow trends usually don't have a sense of self anyway so go ahead and wear your adorable 70s look!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it!!!! I'm nowhere near crafty enough to make something so cute. But talk about a great idea for repurposing clothes and reselling them. So cute.
