The Refashioners 2018: Marie

Keeping it simple and proving refashioning doesn’t have to be complex, we have Marie with today’s inspo…

Marie took a gorgeous but unworn me made from her wardrobe, and used the image on the right as inspiration to create something she would actually wear….
Refashioning can be as simple as looking in your wardrobe, finding the stuff you don’t wear, and figuring out a way to make it fit your look and your lifestyle. And that include me mades. Let’s face it, who among us hasn’t made something that ends up never being worn?!

For Marie’s thoughts on this head over here!
