do u have any ideas on how to design clothes?

Question

im trying to spice up old clothes and make them look new do u have any ideas how?

Answer 1

I usually do this. I make a lot of skirts for myself and they're just plain A-line skirts. So I'll usually add something like pleats, a ruffle, layers, etc...

It's somewhat easy to do, your most important tool is your imagination (and a sewing machine of course) so you can come up with many ideas. I'm not sure if you're a guy or a girl, but for your t-shirts you could make them into tanktops and take other old shirts and make a faux corset/bustier. It wont be as sturdy but it'll have the look.

Answer 2

Yes, you've come to right place, or should I say person, here are some ideas:

- "Patches/Trimmings" if you have any old blazers, or denim jackets that are a bit dated you can add a little flair to them with
courdoroy patches, or leather trimmings, at the elbows, wrist or collar.

- "Go Sleeveless"- If you have any long sleeve shirts that are a bit dated, or have become to tight in the arm, or you just want to "revamp" - cut the sleeves off, and make them summer shirt.
(Also this will give you a reason to lift some weights, and get those biceps ready)

- "Accessorize" - Sometimes an outfit is all about the accessories you wear with it, a nice hat, matching scarf, belt and shoes, matching. Consider this when your putting on one of your old outfits, add new accesories.

- "Tailoring/Lining" - If you have changed in weight, you can give an outfit a whole new look by tailoring to accomodate your size, either adding more, OR tapering in for a more sleek and fitting look, Also adding "Lining" to some outfits will give it a whole new appeal.... and subtle sexiness... like a nice paisley satin lining in a velvet jacket.... go off very well together.

I hope this helps some, and good luck!
And happy spicing.
