This simple upcycling made a HUGE difference in this vintage dress!

Hello friends! In today's video, I show you how I upcycled my customer's beautiful tweed dress into a two-piece set. It was pretty scary cutting right across the centre front into the beautiful embroidery. I think it turned out very nice and it's exciting that this piece will get a second life!

I loved the chain trim once you put it on the jacket. I like it better as a jacket than a dress. Great job!

I can't say that the color palette of that tweed is my cup of tea, but the idea of the project, and certainly the craftswomanship is masterful, and so artful! The gathering of the one side of that chain trim was so smart...and I didn't even know black interfacing was a thing!!! So happy!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much!!! 😁😁

I love the tip of gathering one edge of the trim to make that curve. Beautiful work, thanks so much!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much!! 🥰

[@jmanonmakes]

Beautiful! And what a great tip to round the chain appliqué so it lays better. I love it. Thank you.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@b.a.erlebacher1139]

I agree. I would never have thought of gathering the trim asymmetrically like that. Genius!

[@norma6743]

Beautiful 🤩

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thank you so much Norma! 🥰

Off topic: Your client has excellent taste! I love the sample jacket she brought in! (The only thing I would change is the fringe) 0:27

[@DowntownTailoring]

Sure she has. I make many projects for her!

[@cherylrosbak4092]

I wasn't sure about it at first, but the fact that the chain trim covered that entire centre flower made so much difference. It looks great now.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thank you! Cheers! 🥰

Thanks for asking! I’m dropping the trailer tomorrow! 😊

[@kimhandy1861]

👏👏👏👏 Wow! That turned out beautiful 😍

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thank you so much!!😁

[@marymagdalene3004]

I thought the trim was a good idea, but that this particular trim as to its color and design, took away from the unique and colorful look of the jacket. Nice tutorial, however, on how to go about this kind of up-cycle.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Fair enough! Thanks for sharing ☺️

[@kathrynletchford5114]

That is TERRIBLE, you are cutting that beautiful dress.

[@DowntownTailoring]

It was definitely scary cutting into the beautiful dress but now it will get another life and a lot of use since it fits my customer’s style 😊

[@Antika8553]

Wow! It’s so beautiful! I wish I live near you, so I can be your customer!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thank you so much, you are so kind!

[@GG-ud1ib]
