I got this little gem for a buck at the shop because of its cuteness factor. The fit itself wasn't bad, but it was just too much of a very busy pattern. It is also just not my style, the collar, the ruching, the short sleeve, the odd stringy accoutrements.

Here is a close up of the fabric. Cute little flowers in a fun green and coral color palette!

I performed this refashion before starting the blog in earnest, so I am woefully bereft of any during pictures. Essentially I cut the whole top of the shirt off, sleeves, collar, and all.

I used those string things to make straps and crossed them in the back for something a bit more interesting. Doing this made the back gape a bit, so I just gathered evenly and sewed up the edges. I love how this shirt fits; it is so light and airy (probably cause it's mostly gone). Take a shirt you don't like the top of and hack away! It'll be alright (it's only a shirt after all). You might create something you love!
