Wardrobe
Consultation, Revamp, Personal Shopping ~ Does your wardrobe need a reboot? Do you have great pieces and not sure how to match them? How's about your old coat that could use new buttons, some interesting textures, and perhaps a leather sash…that’s “Upcycling.” Let’s get into your closet and give it a seasonal revamp! This fun process gives you numerous new outfits + we discover what items you need to tie in what you already have. We can shop for new pieces, or try 2nd hand stores to look for Upcylce opportunities.
Custom

Along with wedding dresses & pant suits in various hues, and complete wedding dress make-overs years after “I do.” Bring your dreams to the design table - let’s see what we can customize for you.
