When I go to thrift stores I
never have time to try things on unless I'm sans kids. I found this top while frantically surfing through the women's section on my way to the kid's section. You can't really tell by the photo, but it's somewhere around an XXL.
I was swimming in it.


It's a great, simple handmade top with a sweet pattern. It's a simple pattern, so I thought it'd be pretty fun & easy to refashion. I was right! It took me a few weeks to get around to it, though. Here's what I changed:
- The back of the top had a keyhole opening, I lowered that & made it the front.
- I took in about 8 inches off each side
- I ruched the sleeves at both the outer & inner seams
- I added vintage lace to the neckline & sleeves
Overall, pretty simple fixes. I love this top; it's the perfect colorway to go with black
or brown. To see the whole outfit,
