If your favorite coat in the process of wearing has become a little "worn out", but the material is well preserved, you can revive it and make it an exclusive model of your wardrobe. It is enough just to thoroughly clean it, replace some parts and update the decor elements.
Instructions
Step 1
Wash your coat. Do not use machine wash to avoid deformation of the garment. You can clean the fabric with a carpet cleaner as instructed, paying particular attention to the cuffs, coat sides and hem. Dry thoroughly on a hanger. First, make sure that the product does not contribute to shedding of the fabric. If the material contains a high percentage of wool, it is better to use dry cleaning services.
Step 2
Treat the old coat with a lint remover. This device costs from two hundred rubles and runs on batteries. Use it to remove the pellets on the sleeves and side details of the coat. If the coat is made of textured bouclé fabric, remove the resulting pellets by hand, it is painstaking work, but the result is worth it.
Step 3
Argue over worn, faded buttons. Get new ones that are similar in size and sewing method. Give preference to bright, contrasting to the color of the coat fabric, buttons, sew them in the right places. If decorative loops, metal and plastic buckles, leather and substitute inserts are sewn onto the coat, it is better to replace them with similar new parts.
Step 4
Shorten your coat. This fundamental change in the model aims to achieve two goals. First, you change the style, the coat can be worn with other pants and skirts. Secondly, the hem of an old coat often looks worn and unkempt, so even removing 2-3 cm will hide the true age of the product. If you do not have the skills to handle hem, contact a familiar dressmaker or atelier.
Step 5
Decorate the coat with an unusual brooch or decorative pin, pin a textile flower on the lapel, you will see how the product will come to life. Experienced needlewomen can decorate the collar and chest area with an applique made of leather, suede, cord.
