Here at the Retro Workshop we have become obsessed with up cycling. These were three dresses... now classy little tops.... How cute eh? ⚡⚡⚡ Unfortunately Fast fashion brought forward by high street shops created a disposable culture. This has resulted in ruinous consequences for quality tailoring, craftsmanship and local businesses alike. Shop local, buy quality please people... You will be doing your purse and the planet a favour!! 🌍🌎🌏 #enviromentlyfriendly #shoplocal
