Old Clothing Gets a Second Life
Before and after: A professional tailor transforms pants, dresses, and more.
After: Cropped Jacket
If that pretty coat didn’t get out much this spring, crop it above the waist so you can wear it year-round with jeans or a
skirt. Be aware that the placement of the side pockets affects how much you can shorten a jacket, says Guillermo Molina of
Guillermo Couture, in New York City. Your tailor will have to cut above or below the pockets.
Cost*: $45 to $80.
*Note: Alteration costs vary from city to city.
Next: Before: Miniskirt
