Isn't this top so much fun! Well, it was a little too big and drapey for my small frame so a little cinching of the sleeves with a safety pin and voila! A perfect fit AND an even more interesting shirt! When I like something from a thrift store I will do anything I can to "make it work"! I know many of you get a little intimidated when it comes to sewing something but this was such an easy fix anyone could do it!
Do you alter your clothes to make them fit better?
Hi! I really love your blog. Yes I do alter a lot of my clothes! Like you say, we do have to 'make it work.'

Oh my goodness, LOVE this top! I have a pile of clothes that I want to alter..when I learn how to use a sewing machine...!
ReplyDeleteI love this top! And pairing it off with the gold accessories make for a fun night out! And yes I do buy clothes that are too big and then try to alter it (ghetto- style usually). Usually, i buy skirts that are too large around the waist, but hold them up with a belt and fold the excess over. I wear long tops to cover up the fold! Easy and fuss free!
ReplyDeletegreat tip!

I love your top!! It's absolutely amazing. Great print!! Love the color belt that you used too! :) Great look!
ReplyDeleteI have plans to alter clothes...does that count? I'm like The Funky Junky above, I have a small pile of clothes, mostly all thrifted items, that are waiting to be altered. My husband, who knows upholstery, has promised to show me how to use a sewing machine on his next weekend off...which is coming up the weekend after next. Keeping my fingers crossed that it goes well.
ReplyDeleteYes it does! If we are being completely honest that is a better description of what I do... intend to alter clothes. I also have quite a large pile!
