Burda Style For people who sew
Description
A few years back we did a neighborhood yard sale, but there were a few items that didn’t sell. The original shirt was one of them; my neighbor said she wore this to Las Vegas back in the 80’s!!! I took it and threw it in the dress-ups, but I recently rediscovered and re-did it! I cut the sleeves off, took out the shoulder pads, added an elastic band, and made cute little ties optional for the shoulders. It was a great little rainy-day project, and goes perfectly with my wide-leg velvet pants!
Material Notes
tacky 80's shirt, elastic

Its super fly. Sorry, I guess that more a 70’s expression. I love it. It looks timeless. Love the whole outfit.

Great recon! Shoulder pads always make me cringe… 80s tops are definitely not my style, but you made this one look really stylish. Love it :)
