More Shirt Makeovers/Refashion

August 28, 2009 10:07 am

Here are a few more dolling up of tops that I did this week.

I added this pleated trim to this maternity shirt.

I love this fabric that I used for this shirt.

It almost looks like jewels to me.

Then I took this ribbed tank and added some detail to it. When my friend and I had our baby/mama business, we sold a TON of these. They were really popular.

Here’s the detail at the back. The wraparound fabric on the sides is sooo slimming.
I took this soft, lilac shirt and added two rows of orange and cream ruffles to each side.


Then I took this baby blue shirt and did a really cool effect I hadn’t tried yet.

I ruffled brown fabric on both sides so it becomes a really textured piece of trim. It looks so cool on the shirt. I left the edges unfinished so it would have a deconstructed look. I like it because this shirt is so simple and clean and it adds a really neat edge to the top.

    What a great day with the girls, & your refashions are amazing!
    I've never really thought about adding ruffles to things because I didn't think I was a "ruffly" kind of person, but your designs really make me want to try it!
    I love the blue tank – paisley is my favorite!
