Wardrobe Makeovers
Fashion and style advice for the clothing you already have - Sydney & Illawarra
As a Stylist, I hear this phrase all the time. When I hear my clients say this, I know they really mean their wardrobe is missing the essential items that form the base of all great outfits. They’ve shopped without a plan in the past and their wardrobe is crying for some structure. So in order to fix this problem, I offer the best Wardrobe Makeover service I can provide.
“I’ve got a wardrobe full of clothes and nothing to wear!”
“I can’t thank you enough for our session yesterday, it was liberating and I haven’t felt this free in a long time! You were a delight to spend the day with and I’m thrilled I contacted you!”
Angela, Hunters Hill
How Does It Work?
Believe it or not, there is a recipe to great style and a core wardrobe; an open mind and my help is all part of it. I’ll teach you to look at your clothing and body in a new way, a way that focuses on positives and options. I’ll wiggle you out of your bad habits and slip you into something comfortable and stylish that feels like you.
You’ll be surprised at how many great pieces you’ve got in your wardrobe, and you’ll know what steps you need to take to make it even better. No wardrobe is too big or small, and no pair of disco pants from the ’80s (that you just can’t seem to part with), will stop you from being that effortlessly stylish person you’re meant to be. Scroll through below to read about each step of the Wardrobe Makeover process.
What happens in a Wardrobe Makeover?
-
Prep.
Upon booking, you’ll complete a client intake form and make a Pinterest board of the style you feel drawn to. You’ll submit photos of your current wardrobe space and two photos of yourself for your Colour Analysis. We’ll lock in your Colour Analysis date and your home visit date.
-
Colour Analysis.
The Virtual Colour Analysis is our first step in your package. You’ll know your best colours before we touch anything in the wardrobe. We do this first so we can curate your wardrobe towards a selection of clothes that best suit your complexion.
-
Style Consultation.
The Style Consultation will be conducted in your home at the start of your wardrobe makeover. We’ll discuss your lifestyle, budget and taste and we’ll define the style you want to achieve, and how to maximise your wardrobe space.
-
The Cull.
My clients tell me that getting rid of the things they don’t need or wear is therapeutic. Getting dressed each day is now much easier because they know everything in their wardrobe fits and most importantly, they wear it all.
Going through the wardrobe and doing an edit is an important step to turning over a new leaf in your style, you can donate what doesn’t work and alter what can be reworked.
-
The Style Fix.
The next part of the wardrobe makeover revolves around what you decide to keep. We’ll make new outfits out of the pieces you love, plus I’ll recommend alterations for garments that can be saved and I’ll create a Gaps List of what’s needed to round out your wardrobe.
The gaps list is what I create with your lifestyle, current wardrobe, and personal style in mind. It’s a detailed list of the core pieces you’re missing that will help you to round out your wardrobe and expand your options.
-
The Organise.
After a healthy cull and making a list of what’s missing, you’ll have a pile of alterations and the left over clothing, shoes and accessories that need organising. You’ll be feeling refreshed and already see the benefits of a wardrobe strategy.
Next, I’ll assess your space and advise on how best to organise your wardrobe. We’ll move your clothing back into your wardrobe and we’ll go over your gaps list to make sure we’ve covered everything you need.
After the session,
Once we’ve wrapped up the session, I’ll head back to my office and start hunting down those missing pieces. This list takes about a week to get back to you and will include the exact stores and items you need to visit. You’ll see how versatile your wardrobe can be with these missing items added to your wardrobe and you’ll be able to shop with a curated shopping list and fill your wardrobe gaps. As a cherry on top of the service, you’ll also receive a digital style guide filled with information we discussed in your home visit and you’ll finally have a wardrobe that’s clutter and stress free!

This package is split over two sessions; one virtual and one home visit, and is available for clients between Manly and Kiama. For clients outside of this area, please see which suburbs and locations are included in our free-travel zone.

What happens to the clothes you don’t keep?
The fashion industry has a big impact on our environment, so when we’re decluttering your wardrobe we’ll be working out the best ways to pass on your unwanted, damaged or unworn clothing, whether that’s by donating to one of the many clothing charities Alarna supports, or recycling clothing to be repurposed into other materials.
6 Signs You Need A Wardrobe Makeover
-
1.
After a day of shopping, you unpack your goodies only to wonder why you brought what you did.
-
2.
When it’s time to get ready, your wardrobe turns into a floor-drobe and you end up rushing out the door in something you’re not completely happy with.
-
3.
You keep buying items in the same colour.
-
4.
You have so much print and not enough plain clothing to wear with it.
-
5.
You still have clothes in there from ten years ago and your wardrobe is 30% sentimental items or gifted clothing.
-
6.
You can’t find what you’re looking for because your wardrobe is too full.
FAQs
How do I book the package?
You can book online, via this link, or click any book now button on this page.
Is your rate set, or are there different prices for different sized wardrobes?
Whether you have a small or a large wardrobe, the rate of the Wardrobe Makeover Package is a set rate per session. If you run over the time allocated, you can purchase more time for $94p/h.
What do we do with the clothing we don’t want to keep?
When removing clothing from your wardrobe we want to minimise clothing being thrown away. Upon booking, you’ll be provided with a list of charities to donate to. I’ll provide you with charities that take clothing in good condition and advise you on what to do if your clothing can’t be donated. Any items that could be sold are put aside separately and I can advise different ways you can sell your items. If you have any items of historic value, I’ll always recommend registering your item with the Australian Dress Registry or donating it to a museum collection.
Can I upgrade my Wardrobe Makeover to the Style Makeover?
Yes of course, before your package ends, if you decide to upgrade your session to the Style Makeover, you’ll only pay the price difference between packages.
What areas are in your free travel zone?
I operate along the coast, between Manly and Kiama. For a breakdown of areas for my free travel zone and the charges involved for clients outside of this area, click here.
