What you can do with the hem of a dress!





Calling all LADIES & BRIDESMAIDS.... Add an elegant accessory that you know will be a perfect match to your ensemble....


When you get your special occasion (bridesmaid) dress hemmed, ask the seamstress to save the extra fabric. Why? You ask? Because the possibilities are endless. That extra fabric can be made into accessories that will not only compliment your outfit but also make you elegantly stand out in a crowd. Ladies, that extra hem isn't just for wrapping around the stems of your flower bouquets anymore! Think outside the box...


The possibilities:
A flowered brooch could be worn on your dress; over the heart, on a sash at your waist or even on your clutch(see photo). Adorn those shoes! Shoes clip are always a very chic option!
A sophisticated headpiece or simpler hair accessories are obviously MY favorite option! Depending on how much fabric there is to work with, a large flower can be made and worn in your hair (see photo). If we don't have a lot of fabric to work with then smaller pieces can be made, wear 1, wear 4, (see photo) scattered about your beautiful do!



Lets be real, how many bridesmaids dresses have you ever re-worn? Maybe one, if you're lucky. So with creating an accessory, you can wear it on the special occasion with the original garment and also wear it again with a simple outfit or with another party dress! Something is being created with what would have been thrown in the trash (reuse and recycle!). You'll also have something you may actually wear again!! Even call it a special memento of the day, if you will! ...Because I highly doubt you're throwing on your BM dress again and prancing around the house!



Perfect for: The bride who wants to give something different to her bridesmaids, her mom or even herself!
Perfect for: A bridesmaid who wants to add a little something extra to her attire for the day. (Disclaimer: Always check with your bride first to make sure she is OK with this!)
Perfect for: Any lady who appreciates one-of-a-kind accessories!
