\"JDiebold_web\" <\/a>How did you get started in re-designing clothing and why do you shop at Goodwill?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I got started in re-designing after I went to my first Goodwill Runway Show three years ago. My good friend, Kirsten Keim-Shendge was a model and re-designer at that show. Also, fashion design runs in my family. My grandfather, George Louis Diebold, was a designer for Venus Foundation Garments in Chicago and my mother used to make my sisters and I clothes, costumes and even prom dresses for many years. It was always great to have an original!<\/p>\n

What Goodwill locations do you shop at and what items do you typically look for when considering a re-design piece?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I shop at Goodwill because it benefits a large group of people and you can\u2019t beat the great bargains on designer fashions.
\nI have shopped at the Phoenixville, Royersford, Frazer and Morgantown locations. When creating a re-design, I typically look for an eye-catching item or something with an intricate detail or texture.<\/p>\n

How do you create your re-designs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love a great dress! My dress designs are simple but elegant and the details give it that extra flair. <\/p>\n

The one-sleeved purple gown was made from an old piece of velvet, embellished with handmade flowers and a short train from a fabulous pleated silk dress (Goodwill), and the final touches were a handmade flower and accordion waist detail from pages of Mark Twain\u2019s book, Huckleberry Finn (Goodwill).<\/p>\n

The Japanese Paper Parasol was a great find at Goodwill.<\/p>\n

It had a tear in it. I returned later to purchase it and it had been removed from the floor. Luckily, they still sold it to me \u2013 for $1! I used the remaining fabric from the pleated silk dress and book pages to create the flower and lining of the parasol.<\/p>\n

The burgundy dress ensemble was made from a curtain (Goodwill).<\/p>\n

I created a simple dress and saved the best part for the skirt. The skirt had such beautiful detail which also converted to an optional cape. I loved the multi-function of casual and formal.<\/p>\n

What was your experience like at the Goodwill Runway Show?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Goodwill <\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The Goodwill Runway Show is always a fun experience. It\u2019s a great evening for a great cause, enjoyed by the company of people with the same mission \u2013 to give back to the community.<\/p>\n

What advice do you have for aspiring re-designers? <\/strong><\/p>\n

For aspiring re-designers \u2013 use your imagination. The most simple things can turn into something so appealing.<\/p>\n
