We’ve all been in a situation where that favorite garment we’ve worn to death must be retired. It fit perfectly, the color made us look younger, the fabric was one-of-a-kind. Whatever the reason, we loved it and wish we could have a dozen more. And, you can! Learn how to copy all those favorite RTW garments that are in your closet in this five-week course.
