A groovy lil' co-ord, - formerly known as swamp dress - restyled to perfection by The Zip Yard Bray for stylist Irene O’Brien!

✂️ The bodice from the top of the dress was removed.

✂️ A full zip was inserted down the back to allow it to be taken in and off with ease whilst keeping the desired shape.

✂️ Black lace was added to the seam of the now top which both lengthened it (taking it from crop to crop-ish ... a more palatable style for Irene) and tying it in with the lace already at the bottom of the skirt.

✂️ The skirt was then transformed into wide leg, high waisted trousers with a zipper at the back ensuring they sit exactly as measured.

✂️ Two 'new' pieces of clothing were created that make a statement when worn together but look equally great when mixed with other separates.

✂️ Old threads were given new life.

They say clothes maketh the man. We can handle the alterations. 👔
