Introduction To Fashion Revamping
Ways to Update Your Wardrobe
With regard to clothes, there are a few ways of transformingtheminto fresh, new creations:
- Reconstruction: You can take an item of clothing apartcompletelyat the seams and build something new from the pieces, oryou canuse the deconstructed pieces to re-make that item ofclothing inanother/a different fabric (if you particularly like thefit orstyle of it). You can also change one type of clothingintoanother, e.g. you can change a large man's shirt into a dress,oryou could re-size it to fit yourself. If you have found askirtthat is made in a really cool material but it is far too bigforyou, you could also alter it to fit you perfectly. Old t-shirtsorsweaters (especially if they have holes in or stains on) areidealfor cutting up and using as embellishments, or sewing togethertomake something else - such as a sweater skirt, or a t-shirtdress.Reconstruction usually entails at least a low level ofsewingskill.
- Deconstruction: Scissors can cut the legs off jeans tomakeshorts, and can create all kinds of decorative slits and cutsinclothing. There are some really artistic ways to cut andmanipulatet-shirts to make eye-catching designs, including skeletonimagesand fringing.
- Embellishing: This is the most popular method ofrevampingclothes, with possibilities including: printing paintpatterns ontojeans, gluing on fabric flowers, sewing on ruffles andembroideringpatterns.
With regard to non-clothing items such as bags and shoes, theusualway of updating them is to dye them another color or toembellishthem, often by painting or drawing onto them. I hope youfindplenty of project suggestions on this page to interest you:)
A fabulous handbag can spruce up any outfit, but match it upwithother bags you may also need to carry. This means you shouldhave amatched set of a briefcase and purse if you carry them bothat thesame time. If you ever carry three or more bags, make surethatthey are not more than two different kinds of bags.

Clean out your closet. While it can seem like more clothingmeansmore options, the opposite is true. A cramped and clutteredclosetwill only hinder your fashion choices. Go through yourwardrobe andget rid of anything that doesn't fit you well or youhaven't wornrecently. A wardrobe comprised of a few classic,versatile pieceswill be more wearable than a closet full ofoutdated styles.

The color combination of black and white has become in seasononceagain. Many runway outfits are using this combination. Youdon'thave to make black and white the primary colors either. Youcanaccessorize using black and white accents. These colors willgowith anything that you're wearing, no matter how plain orhowornate. There literally is no end to the possibilitieswhencombining black and white items together.

Perfection is almost impossible with a subject like fashion. Itisnearly impossible to do. Also, if you attempt perfection, youmaylook like you are investing too much time and effort intotheprocess. Amazing and memorable styles have come from modelsandcelebrities who purposely leave something that isn't finished,suchas wearing a messy ponytail or a bedhead look.
