The Final Hurdle of the Debs Alterations Season

We are down to the last couple of weeks to what is an intense Debs season in our The Zip Yard alterations boutiques nationwide (https://www.thezipyard.ie/store-locator/).

So what better to showcase than some of the outfits we have worked on over the past few months in debs alterations season. From showstopping dresses, to dapper tuxes, to custom accessories like Dickie-Bows, Pocket Squares, Cravats for the boys and Bling belts, and bags for the girls.

Behold some of our featured Debs work from around the country this summer 2014. All of us at The Zip Yard hope you had an unforgettable night at yours and if it was far from perfect, who cares! You will laugh at those memories in a few years, and as the Sunscreen Song says you will look back at photos when you are older and realise how wonderful you really looked, how true that is.
Purple Debs Dress

Backless styles were HUGE this Debs, as well as bling and embellishment. What a beaut this purple backless number is, and we are LOVING that this gorgeous girl had the courage to go knee length instead of floor length, Vive la Difference!
