OP Shop Ball - Tweak and Style Session - with Skye and Kaela

The Op Shop Ball will be at LAF on the 12th Sept.

What will you be wearing?

Let us help you alter your garment and accessorise it to perfection to make The Op Shop Ball a truly memorable event.

Grab a garment from The Garage Sale at an earlier date, we won't hold that against you, just bring it in and get tailored and accessorised if you're stuck for ideas, or its just not quite the right fit. Take up a hem, give it a cinch at the waist, or cut it down and hem the edges, we can do it!

Get a belt, scarf, stockings, shoes, hat, gloves, sunnies, jewellery, brooch, coat, cape or any other items you like to pull the outfit together.

Assorted clothing and accessories will be available for purchase in the usual inexpensive manner on the day from The Garage Sale from 10am.

We'll be flitting between the shop and upstairs in The Portal where the sewing machines live. Come and knock on the door upstairs to find us if we're not in the store.


Hope to see you at one, or more, of the sessions.
