gothiccharmschool:This is known as being a tad ridiculous about customizing ones wardrobe: The lapels and cuffs on this frock coat from ChicStar, are made of okay-but-not-great satin. So I covered the cuffs with a layer of lace (a present from sablerabbit!), and I covered the lapels with lace panels I salvaged from some old bras.Yes, I took apart some bras that no longer fit me, and repurposed the lace. Yes, I know that’s a trifle … nutty. I’m delighted with the results!Recycling material is never nutty! I have some waistcoats with pockets made from an old futon casing, and a cap piped with cord I took from a chair cushion. Hooray for re-using stuff! -- source link
