After I made my Re-Style this week, I was left with a pitiful, sleeveless, men's shirt. I went directly to the internet and started to search ideas. Then I remembered that Keira, from the Blog A Pretty Penny, had posted a Re-Style about a Halter made out of a men's shirt, HERE. She, in turn, got this fantastic idea from, Christina, and her cute blog~ 6 petals, Here. I thought this would be an excellent idea for my poor over sized, sleeveless shirt. Just look how sad my shirt looks, down below, before the Re-Style.
Seriously, it needed some love.

Tutorial
Things You Need.
1. Men's shirt
2. Scissors
3. Sewing Machine
4. Large safety Pins
Take your scissors and cut from the arm pit to the top collar, like the picture above.
Then on the back, cut out from the arm pit straight across to the middle leaving a 5 inch band, do that on both sides.
Try on the shirt inside out and pin under your arms to make the shirt fit, then pin all the way down. I darted on the chest area, to take out extra material.
Try on the shirt again after you have sewn it to make sure it fits. Now is the time to make any corrections.
Once you like how everything looks, you can trim all the excess material.
and Iron.
Then I attached the braid to the top.
I ironed and hemmed the arms, to make it have a finished look.

NEW
And now you have a new shirt thanks to
and Keira @ A Pretty Penny
Thanks Girls, for such a great idea.

ReplyDeleteSo I'm in the middle of this right now && I'm thinking of doing tucks under the boobs instead of darts. Any thoughts? I dont wanna do it if it'll look bad.

ReplyDeleteJust try it and see how it looks, you could always take the tucks out if it doesn't work.:)
DeleteThis was so much fun! Mine had pockets with flaps, and the darts worked perfectly stitched along the top seam of the pocket flap. I salvaged a great snap shirt for this! Thank you!!
