I found this frumpy bit of loveliness in a thrift store in Indiana.

| Yes, I am in a garage. Don't judge. |
I wasn't a fan of the fit, but loved the black and white retro polka-dot and flower pattern. I was feeling a bit adventuresome, so I decided to do something a little different with this one.
Of course I removed the sleeves first, and I also turned the collar into a more flattering v-neck. Here is where I might have gone off the deep end for ya. I decided to replace some of the back with lace. First go around, I made two lace panels on the back, but I ended up looking like a deranged bug with black lace wings. No bueno.

| Take 1: Epic failure. |
I had seen this
shirt DIY from
Pearls and Scissors (a really good quality refashioning site) and thought I could reconfigure my failure into a success! A little finagling later and this is what I ended up with.

I trimmed away some more fabric from the sad little wings and created a heart instead.

| Sorry again about the back view- necessary evil! |
If nothing else, I've got a bit of air conditioning for hot Florida days! Cheers!
