Alteration

If you noticed, I’m always telling you that I get altered most of my vintage clothes. Vintage can be beautiful and unique and oh so wonderful but if the fit is sick, there is no point in wearing it. So my advice for buying vintage would be to buy something that can be tailored to fit just right. It’s worth the money to get something fitted, because that will make the difference between whether you wear it or not.

Daca ati observat, va spun mereu ca imi modific majoritatea hainelor vintage. Pot fi ele frumoase, unice si atat de minunate dar daca marimea nu e buna, nu mai are rost sa le purtati. Asadar sfatul meu atunci cand cumparati vintage este sa fiti atente la cusaturi si croiala ca sa va dati seama daca poate fi modificat sa va vina perfect. Rareori(cred ca de vreo 2 ori defapt) mi s-a intamplat sa gasesc ceva fix pe masura mea. Iar eu zic ca merita niste bani in plus la croitor… iar haina chiar ajunge sa fie purtata.

Let’s take this dress for example. The first time I saw it, I thought “wow, that bow is so cute, I like the print and the puffy shoulders but…will it fit me?”
My mom thinks it looks like a bedgown and let’s face it, it has no shape at all. I usually like fitted dresses that show a bit of the body’s natural curves so this dress would be a definitely no-no if I were to leave it this way.

Sa luam rochia aceasta ca exemplu(va spuneam acum ceva timp ca am gasit cateva bunatati printre care multe de modificat). Prima data cand am vazut-o m-am gandit ca “vai ce dragalasa e funda aia, ce-mi place imprimeul si umerii umflati dar… oare-mi vine?” Mama evident a tinut sa puncteze ca arata ca o camasa de noapte:> si sunt de acord cu ea in special din cauza formei. Lipsei formei mai bine zis(in general imi plac rochiile care urmeaza linia naturala a corpului si stau departe de acelea drepte, “boxy”, genul cutie)

So I could:

1) Get it nipped in

2) Use a belt to create something close to an hourglass

3) Shorten it

Asadar as putea:

1) S-o stramtez

2) Sa folosesc o curea pentru a-i da cat de cat forma de clepsidra

3) S-o scurtez3

After much consideration, I decided that the best result for me, would have to be something like this:

Dupa multa foiala am decis ca rezultatul final ar trebui sa fie ceva de genul asta:

Anyway, I got the dress altered and wore it today. Photos with the final result tommorow.
Am rezolvat cu rochia, mi-a modificat-o croitoreasa si chiar am purtat-o azi. Poze cu rezultatul final maine:P

Do you get your clothes altered?

Voi va modificati hainele la croitor?
