Thread: Do u Customise Ur Clothes?

  1. #1

    Talking Do u Customise Ur Clothes?

    I like to buy new clothes but the shops are boring with the same stuff in every one

    so, I often go to charity shops and find some interesting bits

    rip them apart and make something just for me

    anyone one else do the same?

    I don't of necessity totally dismantle something and re-make in a different style, as I have sooooo many clothes I don't have a lot of space to add new ones to. I am also lucky in that my clothing size hasn't really altered that much in 10+ years - I float somewhere between a 10 and a 12 depending on the time of year and tailoring.

    Although, I do buy the odd item that I either need or something that really catches my eye. As I am handy with a sewing machine, I can alter it to fit if the size is wrong.

    for my daughter though- its nice to have something unique- even if its just a bit of trimming on a skirt or pants-

    I take off sleeves if I like a jacket or top but don't like the length on the sleeves

    or change the buttons or belt

    sew on extra pockets

    embrioder a design on a pocket, particually on jeans

    it makes them unique

    I used to cut the holes in my jeans and wear multi-colored stockings underneath them. Now I just mainly customize my daughters clothes. I make her hairbows and pillowcase dresses, which I play up wiht accessories. I also make bags out of old clothes and what not =)

    I rather make something from scratch than to do a major alteration.

    Thanks for sharing your ideas and your experience to us, it will be useful to everyone. i like to wear the jeans with short tops or long tops very much. For that i used to made the jeans with some simple work on the pockets and side cuts etc.. i used to wear some shaded jeans also.

    Yes, I do customize my leather clothes! I like to add my own special touches that make them unique. I might get creative and add a few extra zippers and buckles or even add patches to create an eye-catching look. Sometimes I might opt for different color combos to really make a statement. Customizing my leather clothes helps me create looks that really reflect my style and make me stand out from the crowd!
