DIY: re-inventing my Wardrobe #1

So I finally plucked up the courage and patience to take apart an awful top from my past.

I'm quite lazy and put off challenging tasks till tomorrow (more realistically next year), this time the thought took me only a month.

It makes me look fat and it rides up but I do love the shruggy thing and the leopard print wasn’t too bad so rather than banish it to the charity pile I thought I’d give it another chance to redeem itself. I’m no Gok Wan but I do have an idea.

Check out the photo tot he left of what it was till I attacked it with scissors.

and trust me this was the only half decent photo I could attain.

I removed the stitching from the shrug tot he top - straight forward huh? Nope! The back of the shirt was a completely different material, it was a plain black.

>_<


Lucky for me I had other rejects in my wardrobe so I mixed and matched instead.

I decided to cut the originally black front ruched bustier from the wench style black top - no before pics I’m afraid but here is the after pic, I made the top more flattering to me and less revealing !!! Not bad, considering it's my first real DIY project.
