WHY DO EUROPEAN WOMEN LOOK ELEGANT? BECAUSE HER CLOTHES WERE ALTERED Clothing alterations are performed to fit a garment to a person’s body. Expert clothing alterations can hide problem areas on the body and reduce inches without the use of shape wear or dieting. Instead of purchasing new clothes, bargain-lovers can apply minimal alterations to their existing clothing to update their old clothes effortlessly and inexpensively. Alterations have the power to take a ho-hum ga...rment and transform it into something that looks and feels amazing. 1. Altering the Arm While it may seem pretty obvious that you can have your sleeves made slimmer if they’re too big, there are a host of options for sleeves that are too small as well. If your garment is too tight near the armhole, the tailor can drop it to create more room. He can also use the extra fabric allowance in the seam to loosen the arms a bit, or even remove the sleeves completely to transform it into a tank style. 2. Creating a Different Neckline Absolutely love love a top or a dress but hate how the neckline doesn’t exactly flatter your flat chest (or large chest, or narrow shoulders, or broad shoulders...)? Reinvent it! Your tailor can work with you to switch up the necklinesay, removing the collar from a button-down or turning a crew-neck into a boat-neckso it provides the most flattering silhouette, or just the right amount of modesty (or lack thereof). 3. Removing Pleats Maybe you’re still holding onto a favorite pair of pants from a few of years ago, when pleat-fronts were all the rage. Or maybe they’re a recent purchase but those pleats just aren’t doing great things for your hips. Ask a tailor to take them out entirely, or reconstruct them to create a sleeker, more modern look, and then adjust the front of the pant to lay more smoothly. http://mistralfashion.ca/

UPCYCLING To live a sustainable life, clothing options opposite to the "throw away" attitude encouraged by fast fashion are needed. Upcycling can help with this, as it puts into practice a more circular economy model. A Circular Economy is where resources are used for as long as possible, getting the most value out of them while in use, then restored and repurposed when their use is over. Not only does upcycling help environmentally, there are also economic benefits. By reusing materials that others may not find as desirable, there are huge savings that can be made on buying supplies for business or personal use. By definition, upcycling means increasing value to the original product and this can be done by changing/adding a personal spin to the design or improving material quality or fixing broken clothes.
