Say what you will about Kate Moss. Whether you love her, or frown on her party girl past, the girl is a fabulous model and revolutionized the modeling industry in the 90's when she hit the scene in her Calvin's, and she will forever leave a lasting mark on fashion. With her unique look and fragile frame, she carries clothes well and can make almost anything look good. Though there is one specific look that inspired me to write this article. Miss Moss was at an event wearing a fragile vintage dress. At 9 pm the dress was still in one piece, though the same couldn't be said by the end of the night. As the night progressed the dress literally began falling apart at the seams. Do you think that stopped her from having fun? Never! She tied it up, and kept going, and not only did it look good, it looked better than the original. While I don't recommend ripping your clothes, it does solidify the importance of good tailoring. If an outfit doesn't fit right, no matter how expensive it is, it's not going to look good. The opposite can be said for bargain piece. Even if it's less expensive, if it fits you to a T, then you're going to look like a million bucks. This idea inspired me to "tweak" a dress of my own. It was, of course, a bargain dress, but really cute non-the-less. I tried tying it different ways, Ah La Kate, and ended up with a "brand new," adorable dress. What do you have to lose? Tie, pin and tuck away, if you like it then you can cut and sew, if not, just start over!
