I Look a Little Different: Alterations Needed

For those of you who don’t know me, you may have noticed that I look a bit different in my photos these days. A few years ago I decided it was time to take back control of my body and joined Weight Watchers. It took me 13 months, but I lost 65 pounds and have now kept it off for almost 2 years.

The one downside is that not a single thing I’ve made myself in the last 8 years or so fits any more! That means I have a lot of alteration projects to work on.

The following are two looks I have previously posted that I altered to fit my new body. I have a ton more looks to do this with and will document the process for those pieces so you can see how I do it. (I just ran out of time with these two!)

About Me

Welcome to Katy Turner Designs! I am an Oakland-based fashion designer specializing in one-of-a-kind custom creations. I graduated with honors from FIDM in San Francisco. If you have something to go to and have no idea what to wear, a dress you've always wanted, or if something in a magazine catches your eye, I can make you anything you want (within reason of course) or design something just for you. Either way, you will have something that has been made specifically for your body and no store can offer you that. Please take a look around, make yourself comfy, and contact me if you are interested in my services
