The Leather Dress Flip
The Back Story: When I went home for thanksgiving my mother
couldn’t wait to take me to the newest second hand store back home. She had been
raving about it for weeks and I was pretty excited. The store is called Encore
Styles and it’s like an more adult version of Buffalo Exchange. I purchased a
leather dress, a pair of jeans, a sweater, and a cape. So it’s safe to say I
like the store. The focus of this flip is
that leather dress. It’s a MNG dress and the original ticket price is $150 and
I got it for a mere $15. When I purchased the dress it was a little snug on my boobs
I swear they wont let me be great. Now months later when I finally
decided to wear the dress its also slightly snug on the derriere. So it had to
be flipped!
The Idea: My immediate thought was to make the top lace up.
It was very on trend at the time and it would allow room for my boobs. Then I
thought why not lace the sides too.
Flip Difficulty:
Tools needed: a Grommet making tool (Michael’s $10 with the
40% coupon), eyelets (local fabric store), optional leather hole puncher (If
your leather is really thick), string/cord (I used parachute cord from
Michael’s),Marking Pen, and Scissors
The Process:
You can stop here if you desire.
