Resew your Aso ebi:
Some Aso Ebi are used maybe once after they have been bought. Some Agbadas are lying flat in our wardrobes because we can not use them again or events have passed them by.
But you can bring them out, and resew them into smaller shirts and even shorts. You style them into the latest styles and you are trending again.
Use Dye:
Do you have black shirts or any other colour that is already fading, and picking up another colour due to wear and tears? You can turn them new again by using dye.
You can change the colour and styles by using dye on them, you bring them back again to life.
You can bleach your clothes, to keep the style and the cost of bleach is not as high as trying to get a new one at least for the time being.

Starch it and iron:
You can use starch on your clothes, and also iron it. This way your old clothes won’t have to be thrown away. However, using this style is less expensive but it wears off after immediate use.
Searching brings out the beauty when iron the gators also spark white. It stands strong on whoever wears it, but after washing it goes back to its usual self. This styling method can offer a temporary alternative to throwing it away and helps you preserve money till you get a better one.
Patchwork:
Patching up your old clothes offers two things, it gives them a new style and design, two it also preserves them for another time, until you are finally ready to afford another one.
Patchwork is a way of cutting designs from other clothes in different colours and attaching them to your old clothes, to give them a different and new look.
This style does not make it obvious that it’s old but gives you a creative sense of fashion. Less expensive and lasts longer.
Lastly, instead of throwing away old clothes, you can give them out. By organising a short giveaway, with friends and family, old clothes can be taken to orphanage homes.
