Organize & Cherish with The Organized Flamingo

115: Was It Worth It? Altering a Dress Instead of Buying New


Listen Later

In this episode, we share our latest Fix It or Free It update, where Stephanie transformed a green dress she loved—but never quite fit right—into a skirt. She walks through the decision-making process, the steps she took to find a tailor, and whether the alteration was worth the investment.


We also introduces the March Fix It or Free It project, which involves revisiting a box of items she set aside to repair. 


In This Episode, We Talk About:
  • How a simple alteration gave new life to an unworn dress.
  • The key factors to consider when deciding whether to fix or replace an item.
  • The value of revisiting "fix it" projects to reassess what’s truly worth keeping.

Mentioned in This Episode:
  • The Fix It or Free It challenge and why small repairs can be a game-changer.
  • How local community recommendations helped find a great tailor.
  • Why it’s important to check in on old repair projects and reassess what’s still worth fixing.
