Fashion Tips for Old Clothing

Video Transcript

My name is Julia Barbee. My clothing line is Frocky Jack Morgan. On behalf of Expert Village this is a tutorial on recycling and deconstructing old clothes. So, this is a good example of a one of a kind recycled wedding dress from my line, Frocky Jack Morgan. And, I dyed the dress with tea, I tore apart most of it; it had a neckline, it had long sleeves, things like that, so, I tore all of that away. You can see some of the residue along here from the lacework. I added straps to it, just to create a more beautiful silhouette. And, some other things that we've talked about are embellishings, so I added a lot of hand beadwork along the neckline, and I tore these flowers off of another dress and applied those to this one. I did some beading, I did some rhinestones; things like that, and just really created a sculptural wedding dress that's one of a kind. No one else is ever going to find this, and I think that's really important in creating handmade pieces. You know that it's one of a kind; it's not anything anyone else is going to walk down the aisle in.
