cross over back!
customise your dress!!! the bristol girls show you how…
Ok… so we all know that horrible feeling when something terrible happens to that brand new dress you just got!! Whether it was a coffee stain, a rip, or the worst, you’ve sat in gum!!
Well don’t worry… it even happens to us too here, in the Bristol Motel store!! Look what’s happened when our lovely warehouse man got a little bit too excited with his scissors….


So we came up with a few ideas on how to turn a fashion faux pas into a fashion fix!!
So here’s what our lovely dress should have looked like…

And here’s what we did after our strap had been cut into…

First we cut a diagonal neckline to remove the broken strap and neatened up the edges to prevent the dress from fraying, we then used the off cuts to create a bow on the left shoulder strap.
We then decided to take out two sides pieces, by holding the dress as you would wear it and cutting out two half circles to create the effect we have, again tidying up the edges to prevent fraying:

We then also twisted the bottom half of the dress to create an even more daring piece!

If you’re still not satisfied you could take it even further into this cute little 80’s crop top. Then using any leftover off cuts you can create all these lovely accessories!!

So go on… Get creative with all your old clothes and new Motel garments!! We’d love to see anything that you come up with
