- Join Trinny, Jemima and seamstress extraordinaire Azucena as they reimagine some forgotten favourites for this week’s Closet Confessions. We all have pieces in our wardrobes that are almost perfect, but something still puts you off wearing them. From the slightest tweaks such as altering hemlines to more extreme solutions like dyeing fabric, there are so many ways to make your existing wardrobe work for you instead of buying new clothes. Let this be your inspiration to shop in your own wardrobe this season…
See inside Trinny Woodall’s impressive and expansive wardrobe with Closet Confessions. In each episode, Trinny deep-dives into a particular section of her wardrobe with the help of Jemima from the Trinny London team. Everything you wanted to know about styling, clothing, fashion and even how to organise your wardrobe can be found in this series. From coats to sequins, jewellery to vintage pieces, take some Trinny tips on your tour through Trinny’s (fifteen) wardrobes.

Loving Azucena's dress , she is so clever, every one needs her
I love how dog walked through with her neon collar at the same time as Trinny put the neon necklace over the beige dress. It was like she was saying "I agree - a pop of neon is the way to go"
I spotted that too! 🤣
I was just thinking the same thing. So funny. I can't believe how Azucena gets everything so accurate when Trinny doesn't stand still for a minute 😄 she's a genius. X
Hahaha same
I went looking for this comment wondering if other women noticed 🤣
Never saw that
Azucena is definitely a clothing superstar 🤩🙏
Azucena looks so good in that dress, really suits her.
Oh the ivory white is perfection and witj her lovely long hair, so dreamy, and i dont WANT to say gothic but im getting that it is her own version of Vampire Wife Vibes, crossed with Earth Mother and Dont Mess With Me lol!
@@HumanimalChannel Agreed
I love her dress, I’d love to know where she bought it.💜
Rewatched all the tailoring ones yesterday! Such good ideas! My dry cleaner has a wonderful tailor! This makes me able to have a great many things fixes for my crazy figure. Then you wear things more because they fit.
Those YSL trousers are looking fab on this point of view! 😍 I would do a satin stripe on de side leg from a good tick fabric! 💯 To me that would be chique, classic and even a bit sporty if you like 🤩👌🏼
Good timing from the pupper in her neon collar.
Love how Lily walked into shot with a matching colour collar to your necklace Trinny 😂
Thank you. I'm a man and your video has inspired me to get a better look at my wardrobe and re-imagine wearing some of the older items in the wardrobe. Buying new garments is easy, but applying some creativity is even more interesting and sparks curiosity.
Azucena’s dress is so gorgeous and looks fab on her. Please could she share where she got it, it’s the perfect white dress, thanks
Yesss same here!!! 🤩🤩🤩 That dress is really lovely!!! 💯🥳
Love her dress. She looks fab. I want an Azucena for myself.
Maybe she made it herself 🤔
Fabulous ideas Trinny - and encouraging us all not to add to
“Land fill” but alter and wear again as if it were a new outfit 😀
Trinnh part of my joy is just watching u wear ur wardrobe! So fun!
Love the burgundy skirt and coat set
I absolutely love you in the cream and black dress! The contrast of the black takes away any problem with the color. I would not sell it! Wear it! You know enough makeup tricks to make it work! I think it’s the best thing, by far, that you wear in this video.
I love the dress also. However if doesn’t give you joy imagine how much joy it will give a person who suits the color better? How many can afford a Valentino dress? Although I thought it looked great in your outfit of the day, perhaps it is time to let it go. After all it is not a Serena Butte! 💕
That last dress with the yellow belt is a stunner on Trinny!!
Hi Trinny It was a pleasure watching you solve so many alternation challenges, they're points I will use.
Thank you for sharing.
Really enjoy sessions w Azucena. Molly has a great eye, always comes up w something genius. Xx
There is a local lady here who has done some alterations for me, taking up trousers, and made an old dress into a ra ra skirt. Just to prove I am also hem I’ve taken up on old black dress from too long to knee length. Definitely didn’t do such a good a job as her, but I can sew basic alternations. Enjoy! 😘
I love these episodes ! Can’t wait to see the results ! I live for these on Saturday mornings always puts me in a creative mood ! Thank you 😊
I agree!! They are my Saturday ritual 😄
Totally agree! Being in Australia, I come home from my Saturday nights out and no matter what state I am in, I run to my iPad to watch Trinny 😍😍
The silver jump suit looks amazing with the change!!
Love this Trinny! Ok the closet confession we surely all want to know is actually how often do you wash your clothes, dry clean, hand wash? Is it true denim shouldn’t be washed? Are we all over washing? Please share your thoughts on this with us Trinny!! Thank you 💜
The cream and black still suits you
We all need a "Azucena"...she's amazing.
These alteration videos are my favourite!
Great tips & tricks. This vlog has given me tons of ideas to transform stuff I have that I was going to sell. Merci beaucoup !
Love Azucena 💕🥰
That moment when Lilly came in wearing her neon collar and Trinny wearing her neon h & m chain and talking about it 😀 ❤️
Trinny, I bought silicone shoulder pads on Amazon that stick to my skin and no matter how much I move and dance, they do not fall off. They give me the shoulders I don’t have and bring my shape into a sharper hourglass. This also means my big round boobs are not as prominent.
Ooh do you have a link to these shoulder pads? Sounds like something I'd love in my wardrobe.
Me too! I can't for the life of me remember where I got them though (somewhere - not on Amazon - online)
Good to know...
Yes, yes, a million times yes! Alterations and flips completely change the clothing from blah to brilliant. Sometimes the item just needs a little tweak like adding a small shoulder pad or adding a strategically placed dart to make it fabulous.
These have inspired me. I’ve put aside two jacket, one to replace the buttons that make it feel old ladyish, the other to fix up the pockets. Oh, and some jeans to take up into knee length shorts before spring really gets going.
Great Episode!! Could watch these closet confessions for hours!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!
The burgundy cashmere ensemble is so beautiful.
Love this! So needed. Taking what you have and "tweaking it" to fit better, look better, more useable, etc. Perfect solution to using what you have. Thank you for this video!
I agree the cashmere coat and skirt need to be shortened
I find myself chucking along as i do on all of these types of videos
Especially about.. the little slit! Too thick!
Just so immediate natural and delightful
The sequin jumpsuit looks very early Star Trek with the new shape!
Love the concept of the neckline change and the neon belt added to that last dress. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.
The Valentino dress is so outstanding in its current state. Could you wear some fabulous jewelry in the V-neck to bring color near your face?
Love these and I am just blown away by your organisation, display of bags and size of your dressing room 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😍😍😍😍
I love these videos, especially the follow up ones where we see the results.
God how I love your outfits and your style ideas 😍
Beautiful long aubergine coat & skirt!! 🤩💓🤩
Beautiful clothes, well worth altering. Great ideas that make such a difference!
The always lovely Trinny is looking especially exquisite today. : )
Loved the transformation with the shoulder pads on the jumpsuits and t-shirt.
On the black and ecru dress - the outer layer doesn't fall properly - the facing is popping out. It looks like it was meant to lay flat against the black. Good choice to sell!
Sew up the slit: YES!
The Giambattista H&M dress: brilliant to change the neckline!
love these! I have found a local lady a friend of a friend and she has done some alterations on things I have not been wearing. One is a shirt that needs more alternations but you inspired me to persevere with it! THANKYOU! xo
Thank You, new out of the old. Good day!
I also noticed the lovely dress on Azucena. So nice
Just as the neon necklace comes out, that gorgeous dog potters by in a neon collar 🌞
Would love to see Azucenas wardrobe
Hope you can do a capsule of “what to wear” when you live in the tropics 🌴☀️ when there is 90% of the year humidity.
Love your style!! 👍👏
I wish I had an Azucena in my life! I do most of my own alterations, but I’m not expert. Over 20 years ago, I took a bridesmaid dress to be shortened, and they charged me an incredible $75 US to just hem it with a crappy overlock stitch, like that used inside cheap garments, I was embarrassed to wear it. I’m so tired of just hemming pants, for one thing. It’s not difficult, but it is tedious. I also have to take in the shoulders of neatly everything. So, items to be altered back up in my sewing room, sometimes for half a year, because it’s too hot to sew there in our 5-6 month summers. I just yesterday finished altering a linen dress that I really needed these last few months, and am going to iron it this morning. My expert sewing teacher, my Mom, recently died and I miss her terribly, and not just for sewing together, we always had so much fun together.
🥺 So very sorry for your loss. Hope your memories bring you comfort. I was devastated💔 when my mom died, & still miss her 22 years later. She was a talented designer & tailor too, so I was spoiled by her creativity. You're fortunate your mother was able to teach you some of those skills.
😔Sadly I did not learn my mom's sewing 🪡secrets, but I inherited her sewing machines & supplies🧵. I had a horrible home ec teacher in Jr High too that expected you to learn by osmosis. Thankfully, they have much better teachers online today.
🤔Tried some simple hand sewn alterations, but determined to do more. YT influencers like Addy @ Well Loved give me confidence too. No desire to become some expert. Just tweak a garment to suit me better w/o costing a fortune💰.
✨️Azucena is a prize✨️. Like almost everything else, tailoring service is pretty 💸costly in LA, esp. for what you get.
🧺 Sometimes our "to do" baskets over flow. Someone once told me that procrastination is a form of perfectionism. We put off tasks to tomorrow that which we feel we cannot do perfectly today. This certainly fits the bill for me.
Sometimes you just have to plunge in on tasks you've been avoiding. Figure all my sewing progress is to be celebrated🥳. Trust me, no one will be looking 👀 that closely to stitches as long as something is hanging right, and makes you feel good🤗.

Love your hair style Trinny 💖
Azucena is a miracle worker! I love how the two of you have reimagined the clothes that you weren't wearing. The only comment that I will make is that the burgundy maxi-length skirt and matching coat are the perfect length. I feel that if you shorten them, they will lose their special elegance. I would really love to see close up how Azucena adds side panels to the trousers and dress. As a pear-shaped figure myself, that is where my clothes feel tight if I put on weight or bloat. Thank you.
Great video amazing how those small tweaks make such a difference.
Trinny I have been wondering if you choose all natural fabrics for tops and pants. Of course they're ideal but if you found a great pair of trousers made in a synthetic fiber would you buy them? I think with your white outfit, the textures throw me off, I have to really stare at it to make a decision. I love the idea of shortening the top but you should wear a white petticoat underneath to hid the skin from showing when you turn your body!
thank you.
HavingSuzanna is a dream
Azucena (Lily -flower) is the best
Or could you put a layer of black chiffon over the cream on the black/cream dress?
Please do a clothing line, Trinny! I need to dress like you! 🙂
Love these segments. Azucena is so talented! Just wondering…if it’s current season, would Vampire’s Wife sell you some of that shimmery blue fabric to solve your side panels issue? Shame about the dry cleaner shrinkage :(
I was one of the people that commented you should wear that dress with the neon H&M necklac. Glad it worked out 💛
So fun! Can’t wait til next week.
Loved watching this!!! Little things that make huge differences
Oh my-the YSL black trousers ❤️ And the long TSE skirt length is glorious as is. I LOVE coming along for these tailoring/tweaking sessions!!! I see where adjustments would exponentially improve my own pieces-just need to take them in more often and actually do it. 😊 Can’t wait for the results of yours!
Trinny, those Cos trousers are perfect on you as they are!
I love these alteration videos,listening to your ideas and admiring what your wonderful dressmaker can do. I've found a local alteration/dressmaker and had 3 items altered which I never wore before.
Thank you Trinny..you re so insipiring to me..we love you and your team is amazing
Lily wearing the same colour collar 😂😂😂😂😍😍😍😍
Once again you showed us just how divine your wardrobe is. Loved loved loved this video!
Can we see each of these pieces after they’re redone? A follow up video?
Every time I watch your videos I feel like buying a neon yellow sweater but it's impossible to find it seems! 💛 It's funny because I've been altering so many clothes that weren't right lately...game changer!
Trinny, I have corrected yellowing using purple shampoo. If you use a small amount of purple it should return to white. If you use too much it starts to go towards oyster.
Loved every outfit and the changes will make them even better can't wait to see them.
Pls let us know when and what site you will sell the ecru and black dress on for I'm very interested
Also did your seamstress make her own dress it is gorgeous on her
Azucena i love the embroidery anglaise dress you are in, its so sweet amd divine particularly the hem.
Hello Trinny. Just keep the last dress Trinny
Great episode!
Trinny's figure is amazing.
oh my goodness I love the black and cream dress. it's amazing xo
I learnt from you and Suzannah to fit the widest or biggest part of the body then get the rest taken in. As a pear shaped woman, you can imagine my seamstress bills….anyway now Trinny has given advice on a few more ways to wear clothes that aren’t right. Thank you. Very good advice.
How about making the white T shirt and skirt into a dress?
This hits home! I agree but it’s challenging to find a seamstress/tailor that gets the attention to detail. Any suggestions in finding one?
Thank you so much for all this info. I wish I had a mind like yours in fashion.❤
Wish you’d do a Boden shop up
They have such a good size range
Love this please do more gives me great ideas for my wardrobe, keep them coming Trinny 👍❤️
Great ideas 💡
Big shout out to the dog, what a beauty..!!
I hate you, Trinny. Is there nothing you don’t look amazing in?! I don’t think so! But I know you are a perfectionist - hence the tweaks. Thanks, Trinny, for all the joy you bring and the employment for dozens (hundreds?) of people you provide. You are a legend and I adore your channel - oh and you too of course. Plus - you’re real (in a ‘not real’ way!!). When I come back I hope it’s as ‘Trinny’ ;) :)
I can’t wait to see the results!
Fantastic💕
Azucena seems like a very skilled tailor or seamstress (I'm not sure the correct term). Really listening and getting it. The assistants in these videos have great ideas too.
Love the creativity!
Love the TSE suit! I have of a similar vintage TSE cardigan that you’ve inspired me to take up again if only because it is such a cool company. And the Saint Laurent trousers are gorgeous - never part with them!!
So classy. Absolutely gorgeous.
I personally love the shiny jumpsuits as there are, with the slouchy sleeves. Cutting them and adding big shoulder pads is a mistake in my opinion, will look like a space costume from Star Trek.
Love these solutions! 😘
Plz show the afters also … when they are fixed,!❤
I loved this video, it’s so instructive !
is there anywhere we can go to check out the clothes you are selling ? (I absolutely adore that Valentino dress)
Azucena looked worried when you said “next week”, that’s a lot of work.
What brand is your shoes I like it cz it’s easy to put it on!
H&M dress is beautiful.
Was there a video showing the alteration results please? I can’t find it x
