Re-Fashion vs. 
Alteration

What's the difference?

  • Both processes begin with a consultation where we go over the existing garment and discuss the end goal.

  • Re-Fashioning a garment means we will evaluate the condition and   materials of the original while planning the redesign. A perfect example of this is taking an heirloom wedding gown (something old) and turning it into your dream gown (something new).  

  • Altering a garment will have us making no changes other than to the fit.  This includes adjusting darts, seams, and hems.
