Welcome to the Frock Flip! My name is Ashley and I flip
clothes. That’s what I do. This site will be insight into how you can look
your best for the lowest price point. Its simple 80% of my wardrobe is thrifted. I’ll
share how to win at the thrift store, how transform drab into fab, and styling
tips!
Now let’s get started:
The Frock: I was going out and had nothing to where. I found
this school uniform at Buffalo Exchange (An excellent Thrift Store for beginners). It
was $10. It’s a kid’s size 18 so luckily it fit EGO OFFICIALLY BOOSTED. After
trying the dress on I had a few issues. First GOT MILK?, without wearing a
shirt underneath my boobs were overexposed, Secondly it was a little too conservative for the
event. No worries I had plans to fix all those issues.
The Flip: Warning this flip is more complicated than most.
To fix my conservative issue I decided to turn the skirt in
to a handkerchief hem. It’s my favorite
skirt hem because it shows off these legs my mama gave me and it feels just the right amount of
sexy. Here are the steps for turning
pretty much any skirt into a handkerchief hem:
Materials you will need
Scissors, Marking too (if all fails eye/lip liner), measuring
tape, a sheet of Paper, ruler, two buttons, two pieces of elastic.
That's it for making a handkerchief skirt if you want to stop there and throw a shirt on under the top then your are DONE! However if you want to see what I did for the cleavage issue ....
Part 2 Fix Overly revealing cleavage
I only had fabric that was cut from the skirt to make this
work so this was pretty difficult.
