From Dowdy to WOWZA: 20+ Vintage Refashions You Can Actually DIY

If you’ve ever stood in front of your closet wondering how to make that almost cute vintage piece actually wearable, this one’s for you.

I just released a brand new refashion tutorial (hello, cropped blazer from a vintage dress ????) and stitched it into a jam-packed compilation featuring over 20 of my best vintage upcycles. Think of it as your ultimate vintage thrift flip guide: no patterns, no pressure, just pure DIY magic.


Here’s what you’ll find inside:

  • Quick & clever accessories – lace necklaces, painted shoes, hankie scarves and more

  • Dress transformations – from flapper-inspired to fugly-fabulous glow-ups

  • Shirt and blouse refashions – adding ruffles, bows, and shape

  • Blazer & coat hacks – including a few you won’t believe started as robes

  • A show-stopping finale – where I turned one vintage dress into two epic pieces: a shortened maxidress and lace bell bottoms from the scraps!

And yes, it all starts with a brand new tutorial where I upsize and reshape a vintage dress into a cropped blazer I’ll be wearing on repeat. Watch the video see that transformation up close:


Whether you’re new to refashioning or a longtime member of the #RefashionistaRevolution, this video is your sign to grab those thrifted pieces you’ve been avoiding and make them yours.

Perfection is the enemy of good enough, so pick up those scissors and get started!
