Clothes play a significant role in the manifestation of one's personality. Women and good clothes are an in separable twosome as women of these days are found to have a flair for novelty in the way they wrap themselves in to entice an entrancing audience in both home and at work. Here are a few simple tips for those who possess a creative hand to indulge in flaunting their deft at making their own designs for a casual wear.

So how about sending waves of surprise from your tailor?

Patch work from your old or tired of having worn clothes can be a new patch for your new dress especially a salwar kameez, for the sleeves, slit and neck.

The embroidery of your old dress can serve as a patch work to adorn your new dress.

If you are in love with a particular print or design (especially block prints), you can trace the design on to your new fabric (preferably cotton) and fill it with fabric colors of your choice or give it to a dyer {some dry cleaners also aid in dyeing) to dye the designed area.

Beautiful buttons of your old clothes can be used for your new ones.

Small metal or brass accessories that adorn your old salwar kameez can be of ornamentation to your new ones.

Bored of wearing a frequently worn sari? Just cut it into a dupatta and match it with plain kurta and kameez to form a new dress.

An old sari but fresh in appearance can be converted into a salwar kameez.

An exquisite sequence worked or an embroider old sari that you don't prefer to wear can be cut out as a patch work for a new salwar (if the work is intricate or elaborate two to three new clothes can be made), or cut it into a blouse for a plain sari.

You can approach a dyer to dye an old sari with a new combination of colors.

Lastly but not the least save up your wastes of your freshly stitched clothes from your tailor to form patches works for your new ones.

So how about kindling the designer in you to enrapture attentions of your new-enamored creations?
