I transformed a $10 coat (using just ribbons)
I haven't done a thrift flip since my second ever video (!), so I thought I'd make this one a bit of a sweet escapism. The victim this time is a $10 coat I thrifted two years ago. I outlined the whole research & development phase of this project on my substack, in case you want to see some of the prep work I did: https://open.substack.com/pub/victori...
