Vintage is cool, but fur isn't

So I have this friend. She's my hairdresser. She can do something I can't, she can make my hair look fabulous. But she has a vintage shopping problem. That's just fine with me, we work on trade (the best money system).

She buys lots of clothes (you'll see many pictures on my site for alterations–most of those are for her) and I alter them to fit her unreasonably tiny self.

Take something old and make it new again.
Remove yucky fabric buttons and old smelly fur.
Add simple, elegant crushed velour border and  matching buttons.
