I found this on a thrift store go 'round with my best friend from Atlanta. We had a much better time than this top is having...
 |
| Wrinkly with a chance of long sleeves! |
Here is a close up of the front of the top...see the curved area on either side of the buttons?
 |
| Sad and lonely bib shape |
Time to do something with that!
I made a pattern of the area using some paper and a pencil and then pinned it to the lace to create the embellishment I wanted to add.
 |
| Bib-arific! |
Here are the cut out pieces of lace bib. I got the lace from JoAnn's Fabrics, and this one has a bit of stretch to it. I know they don't look totally even (faulty cutting I guess), but they will look all right on the finished product.
 |
| Wings of a lingerie angel! |
I removed the sleeves of the shirt, finished them up, and attached my lace to either side of the buttons. Here is the final product!
 |
| Light enough for Florida and feminine enough for me! |
The lace just adds a bit of detail to a shape that was already there. I love how such a plain Jane top could become fancified and fun!
 |
| Why yes, I do have lace flowers on my front...and? |
