Hi Tara, Just used the bottom half of shirt and used this pattern I made http://www.trashtocouture.com/2012/04/diy-leopard-printed-shorts-sewn-from.html
the waist and shorts were sewn together. I made the top extra loose to fold over. The strip was made from the sleeves. Hard to explain everything I do through pictures...just wanted inspire this one...
so how do you get your fit? do you pin it up while wearing the men's shirt?... or measure it against one f your own?... also- did you put darts at the bustline? ... and lastly, any chance of a video or pattern for the top? :) so inspired, i'm itching!! - rompready
Wonderful transformation, as always!! :)

ReplyDeleteCould you provide a little more information on how you did the waist? and maybe also the neck tie? Did you use the sleeves for that?
