Day 306: Damages Sweater
Today’s piece comes from Revente. It’s a perfectly fine cozy cardi, right?
Unfortunately, this Cardi is hiding something!
There’s something else you need to know about this sweater, folks!
If you click on this link, right here, you’ll see that the original retail price for this guy is $450. WHOA.
So, this sweater has gone from being worth $450 to being worth $0, because it is damaged.
You’re gonna laugh when you see how easy the fix for this is!
I thought I’d have to add a hem, but this sweater is a super-tight knit that doesn’t fray! Yay! It did do a funky rolling thing where I made my cuts…
But lookie lookie at those pockets!
So, now my sleeves are nice & short (perfect for a SC Spring evening), they match other style elements on the sweater (the pockets), and this $450 sweater didn’t cost me a thing (huzzah)! 🙂
I wore my new sweater out to The Mediterranean Tea Room, where many noms were had! 🙂
Cheers! 🙂

It looks even better with the short sleeves!

Things we cannot “fix” at Revente go into a bag for Jillian. Why toss it when it can be refashioned?

I’m soooooo happy that more and more stores are donating damaged goods to people who can save them, rather than tossing them out! It would have been a shame to lose this one!

I wish there were more places like that in Orlando or Florida in general. I own a sewing machine and can hand sew. I would love to fix up pieces for women in need.

There might be, but if there aren’t, I bet you could start something.

i think this shade of pink is your color. Very Springy…and it’s good to know that $450 item didn’t end up in a landfill somewhere.

Score! What a find!
