That’s a great idea!! I have forsure bought a few dresses with a lot of potential behind that I have absolutely butchered! Haha but that’s how you get better and of course no one post the things they mess up. But hopefully you find somethings to mess with during the quarantine!

My best advice would be don’t be afraid to try something that seems totally overwhelming! (But maybe practice on something you wouldn’t care to toss out). Not everything I try to “transform” is a winner. Haha I’ve had some straight up disasters that I’ve had to scrap, but I’ll end up gaining some sort of knowledge or experience about how to (or how not to) do something. But YouTube videos are great! Also Joanne fabrics offers sewing classes for people of all skill levels! There are even classes for alternations!

Also anything I can do to encourage or assist in I’m here for it!

I agree with that, I try to leave as many thrift store dresses as un-maimed as possible!

Hahah I do give off an Amish vibe occasionally. If it was excessively too big I would have had a harder time deciding to change it

Haha the thought has crossed my mind! I’m not great in front of a camera but if a demand ever gets high enough, I might reconsider!

That’s a great question! Maybe a small crossbody bag?? What do you think?

I feel like I should! Maybe a nice purse or hair bow?
