This is my show where I take old thrift store clothes and I refashion them into beautiful vintage style outfits! This one is a great Thrift to Vintage ep9! 

I started with just a plain ol' men's shirt!
The changes I made...

  • check
    Fitted the shirt - took in sides, made bust darts back waist darts, sloped the shoulders 
  • Took off the collar and changed the neckline
  • Created the frill at the neckline
  • Shortened the sleeves and added the cuffs
  • check
    Changed the buttons, of course!

I hope you enjoyed the refashion and if has given you some ides on just what you can do with a second hand men's shirt!

Let me know your thoughts in the comments and if you think you might try it!


Until next time...
Bye
