As the festive season approaches, the quest for the perfect party dress begins. But before you dive into new purchases, why not explore the treasures already in your wardrobe? At Sharif Tailoring, we specialise in transforming those forgotten outfits into stunning pieces just in time for Christmas.
Discover Hidden Gems
Often, the ideal dress is already hanging in your closet, waiting for a new life. It might be a dress that’s slightly out of style or one that doesn’t fit as it used to. Instead of buying new, consider the benefits of upcycling. With a few modifications like resizing, restyling, or even just replacing the lining, you can give your old dress a fresh, fashionable update.
Easy Fixes and Stylish Updates
Lost a few buttons? It’s a simple fix that can completely transform a garment. Local craft shops offer a myriad of unique buttons that can add a new flair to your dress. Similarly, adjusting the hemline, taking in the waist, or adding some creative embellishments are all ways to breathe new life into an existing piece.


Cost-Effective Fashion
Upcycling is not only environmentally friendly, it’s also cost-effective. The cost of tweaking and tailoring your existing dress is considerably lower than purchasing a new one. Plus, you end up with a garment that is uniquely yours, tailored to fit you perfectly.
Complimentary Tailoring Consultation
We at Sharif Tailoring are delighted to offer a complimentary consultation to discuss the potential changes or repairs to your garments. Whether it’s a party dress, a piece of outerwear, or even a wedding outfit worn only once, we can help transform it into something you’ll love wearing over and over. Even cherished garments from loved ones can be repurposed for special family occasions, keeping memories alive in a stylish and personal way.
Supporting Local Charity
If you decide that some items are no longer for you, don’t worry about them going to waste. We collaborate with Hospiscare, our chosen local charity supporting end-of-life care, to ensure that your garments find a new home where they are needed.
This Christmas, step out in a dress that’s not just new to you, but new in spirit. Rediscover the joy of dressing up by choosing to upcycle, and let us at Sharif Tailoring help you make your festive season both stylish and sustainable.
