Our stylist to the stars, Mrs Jones, let us behind her studio doors and revealed her top tips for customising those items you’ve loved for years, never worn or just found in our huge selection of clothes & accessories from our Oxfam Online Shop.
Take one reasonably sized square scarf (test by trying to tie diagonal corners around your waist). Silk or satin ones look great for a night out! Give it a quick press.
Fold in half by diagonal corners to make a triangle shape and then cut half way down the fold to the centre of the scarf.
For a longer life fold some ribbon or bias binding (local haberdashery or markets are great places to find this) over the edges and sew down to stop this fraying (if it's a one night wonder party outfit, just leave edges raw!). Press again to iron flat.
Put it on and tie the two cut and sewn edges around your neck.
Tie the two diagonal corners hanging at your sides around your waist. You’re now ready to party!
