内容简介 This book provides inspiration and the technical know-how to customize and transform clothing to create your own unique style. Hunting out bargains in charity shops is no longer the province of art students, and more and more of us want to produce our own personalized "look" rather than turning into high street "clones". There is no easier, cheaper, or more successful way of doing this than by looking out for bargains and then revitalizing them with a few simply stitched ideas: adding braids, a corsage, revamping a pair of velvet slippers with simple embroidery. Sometimes old favourites need a new lease of life, whether by receiving a quick dip dye treatment or even a radical makeover. Divided into four chapters (Changing Colours; Changing Decoration; Changing Forms; and Changing Shapes) and supported by an eminently practical techniques section, this book will encourage you to take your wardrobe in hand and transform it into your own unique style.
