About the Recipe
Have you ever thought about where you wear your clothes?
Every clothing item, such as a dress, jacket, top, skirt or trousers, is designed for a different section of the body.
But what if we could wear our clothing differently from how it was designed? What would happen if we turned our clothing literally upside down, inside out, and on its head?
