Haven't worn that cocktail dress in years? Bought it for a special event and never wore it again? Start wearing that party dress again by turning it into a separate top and skirt that you can mix and match with the rest of your wardrobe! (This service is NOT for wedding dresses or red carpet gowns.)
Pair your cute new top with jeans, or tuck your favorite tee into your sexy new skirt for a look that's all your own. By keeping your clothing in use and loving it for longer, you're helping to save the planet from the fashion industry's over-consumption of natural resources. This service is for customers in the United States only.
Finishing
- Both top and skirt will be finished as needed with matching zippers, closures and waistbands for a perfectly polished look.
- If your dress is stretchy and doesn't require a zipper, then your new top and skirt won't have zippers.
Choose your Waistline
- If your dress has a clearly defined waistband (like the gold and black dress shown above), then that's where we will separate the top from skirt.
- We can separate your dress at your natural waistline (or at your desired length) - please place 3-5 safety pins at different points along your desired separation line before shipping in your dress.

- Top and skirt separated at your chosen length.
- Both top and skirt will be finished as needed with matching zippers, closures and waistbands for a perfectly polished look. If your dress is stretchy and doesn't require a zipper, then your new top and skirt won't have zippers.

Your outbound (finished garment) shipping costs will be calculated at checkout based on your location.
Upon completing your order, you'll receive instructions and our shipping address to send in your garment for ReDye/Repair service. Please also include your order number or a copy of your order in the package.
Please allow up to 14 days from when we receive your garment to complete the ReDye/Repair service before we ship it back to you.
At this time we DO NOT service leather or fur products, handbags, wedding dresses, evening gowns, or any formal suiting attire. If you have questions or aren't sure if your garment applies, please reach out.
Solid-color ReDyes are not possible for post-consumer clothing. Because post-consumer clothing most often has fabric imperfections, it is NOT possible to redye it a solid, all-over color. There will always be spots or areas where the textile does not take the dye the same way as the rest of the fabric, leaving it with variations of color that does NOT allow for solid-color ReDyeing. Please consider our many other ways of ReDyeing, such as ombre, tie-dye, spots/splashed, bleaching fade, etc.
