How do you turn a skirt into couture shorts?
While skirts remain a summer essential, shorts often prove to be a more practical garment, if only for cycling or sitting in the park. But beware of preconceived ideas: who says shorts doesn't necessarily mean masculine, sporty style. To stay stylish in all circumstances, without having to spend hours in the shops, what better way than to reuse your old clothes: take that famous Sézane skirt from last collection and give it a second life? A solution that's both economical and responsible that's sure to surprise you.
How do you turn a skirt into shorts?
The technique involves shortening your original skirt to the desired length and sewing the seam that separates the two sides of the shorts so that you can slide your legs into them. Not sure what length to go for? Don't panic, when you try them on at home, your Tilliste will be able to advise you on how to transform your skirt.
And how do you give it that famous "couture" touch?
For shorts with a luxury feel, our Tillists can, for example apply Tweed or quilted leather inserts to the pockets. They can also create the cuffs of the shorts with fabric inserts. A little chain as a belt and the effect is guaranteed!
You can also customise them by adding gold buttons or brighter colours for summer! And if you don't have any at home: our partner Swarovski Professionnels offers you magnificent pearls and stones to sew on for all your TILLI creations! <Discover all our inspirations.
