I HAD to pull the frogs back and remove the buttons so this trim could go around the whole jacket. It was so worth it.👀 Look how the fasteners pop. 🍾 #designsbyalison #inthestudio #upcycle #alteredcouture #recycle #vintagefashion #repurpose #maker #sew #sewing #sewist #sewingstudio #etsy #etsymom #etsyseller #handmade #lovewhatyoudo (at Morton Grove, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bri--_qng3r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=47opwhmsz6zi

This statement piece fits well on the back but it’s kind of floating. Should I add more to the back? ✂️ #designsbyalison #inthestudio #vintagelace #alteredcouture #upcycle #duster #sew #sewing #sewingstudio #maker #bigasshat #blacklace #lace #trimittowinit (at Chicago metropolitan area) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnoNg8MhN8l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qy4d3hnjabk0
