Save My Tank!

Sep 30, 2009 @ 8:07pm

Dear Fashionista Readers,

I need your DIY skills and creativity. Here's the deal: my favorite Patterson J. Kincaid tank got a little ruined and I'm hoping to salvage it somehow. It's a white, longish loose tank with a zipper up the back and now a few unwanted little holes all around the bottom.

So creative types, any way to save it? I know there must be but I'm at a loss for ideas. I don't mind being creative (with a little help) but I want to make sure it doesn't look too sloppy.

Thanks for your tips!

Hi!

I don't know how you feel about tie-dye, but its fairly simple and there are a ton of videos on Youtube that show different effects you can get with it! I just finished tie-dying a scarf and I love it! Or you could get it screenpainted....
Good luck :)

Why not tuck it in to a high-waisted skirt or trousers?! Or if you are in the creative mood, buy some vintage lace that you can sew round the bottom.

Cuckoo for Coco in Zac

Last March, a few designers embraced the one off ad. Ads are expensive, and if you've got the momentum of a Rodarte or a Phillip Lim, unnecessary (for now). Unless of course the economy tanks. One of the designers who gave the idea a shot, Zac Posen, shot this ad… Read More

I'm Your Silver Lining

I know a bit about clothes and maybe kind of a lot about shoes, but when it came to sunglasses, I was clueless. Until last week when I spent the morning at Silver Lining Opticians. It's a hole in the wall on Thompson Street run by Jordan Silver and Erik… Read More
