I'm a huge fan of any clothing that is customized. From buying a dress second hand and repurposing it, to putting vintage buttons on a new cardigan, to making something from scratch, I love things that are custom.

So show off your custom stuff here. Whether you made it or it was made for you, if it's a one of a kind, let's see it!

These were made for me by my favorite seamstress Haley (fabric chosen by me):


This shirt I bought at a thrift store, added the hook and eye down the front, and added the patches (you can only see one):


This was a "hot topic halter" (you know, the "goth/industrial" ones with the tacky straps and buckles) and one of my favorite t-shirts:

That's awesome, Roxy! I thought I was the only one who went into a store, looked at an item, and decided that it would look good if I removed the sleeves, changed the buttons, took it in, whatever! Whenever I shop with my daughter and she comes out of the dressing room, I always say, "Well if we change that and that and that, it'll work". The other people always look at me like I'm crazy!
LOL, totally! I told the girl working at Hot Topic what I was gonna do to the halter, she looked at me like I was crazy. Got any pictures of what you've done?
It might seem different, but I do the same thing with all kinds of things I see, the difference is I think about how cool something might look if it was repainted and then pinstriped!
Great forum topic...... I heart custom clothing! I will have to get home to my PC and upload some of my customs.... Xoxo sodashopsue
I do the same thing :) One time, I bought two comforters for my bed, took one completely apart so I could make matching curtains for the windows.

Back to clothing... Because I'm tiny, I have a lot of things altered to fit me. Most vintage size 9 or 10 fit me like a dream, then there are those outfits I just can't turn down so I get them altered. I NEVER let them keep the scraps, I have them put it all in a bag for me to pick up with my clothing is ready for pick up.

So, I have a lot of vintage fabric scraps. I make hats, shoe clips, etc., from the scraps to make an entire ensemble.

Here's an example. With this fabulous vintage dress, I had it hemmed to perfection. With the hem scraps I made this pill box hat!

This dress I had hemmed as well and with the hem scrap, I made a custom hair flower and I also lined my lucite purse with the fabric so it'd all match...

And this for my birthday. Again, dress too long for my short self, hat and shoe clips made from the hem scrap.

Lisa, I think you might be my new girl crush! LOL. I love the hats, and the shoe clip idea is awesome! One of my passions is an outfit with all matching accessories, and you've done it perfectly.
