  Before, and After, Reinterpretation!
A futuristic sofa from the past acquires a ruffled topper and a modern attitude! 
De
vorah Dressed Up is a reinterpreted 1951 retro sofa.  As you can see, when purchased, it was a short, right facing sectional unit.  We reutilized its stuffing, and modified the shorter end to mirror its sister on the left.  A cotton batting topper with muslin undercover was added because the new owners were much taller than the original design accommodated -- yet the topper did not harm the original buildup and is completely removable!  The down filled knife-edge twisted bullion pillow topper is our invention.  The pillow top was secured by spring-loaded clips attached to the inside frame.
