| BEFORE AFTER |
You have probably noticed that long, oversized coats are the “it" thing this season. In my opinion, a good long coat is a timeless piece so some of you might already have one in your wardrobe. If not, however, do not think you have to run out and spend half of your paycheck on a great coat. A few months ago I bought this coat at a thrift store. Now, the problem I often have with thrift stores is sizing - a lot of garments are too big, but that is not something that is a problem in this situation. If you look at the first picture, you’ll notice that what emphasizes that the coat is too big are the too wide shoulders. The natural conclusion - fix the shoulders and the rest of the coat can stay huge, but it will still look like it fits you. This actually creates a great effect of an oversized coat.
What I did:
-turned my coat inside out
-made a little incision in the lining and removed the shoulder pads (they were under the lining for this particular coat. Your coat might have them visible or not have them at all)
-pinned where I needed to make the seam to take in the shoulder part and sleeves
-made a seem to make the shoulders and sleeves smaller
And the result is before your eyes!!
Much love, babes!
