We may come across cool pieces of clothing in thrift shops, but they often turn out to be 3-4 sizes bigger than we need. For many customers, this situation may be a reason to refuse to buy these clothes, but the people from our compilation don’t see this as a problem. They’re sure that they can transform anything. Even old dresses and oversized men shirts can be turned into stylish outfits that don’t look like anything else.

“I turned this wrinkly and old dress from a thrift store into cool overalls.”

“This is my first sewing project ever.”

“I bought this dress for $1. It had been hanging in my closet for several weeks before I decided to finally change it.”

“I bought this dress in a thrift store for $25. The whole process of its modification can be described like this: I sat on my bed and just dove in, taking the dress apart.”

“These cargo pants look more modern now.”

“The top and the t-shirt I got for $4.50 look way better now.”

“I turned this weird thrift-shop dress into a cute corduroy one.”

“I turned a $1 dress into a nice romper.”

“I thrifted this coat dress for $2.50. It took only 2 hours to transform it.”
