Description

I had this top from years ago that I never wore, because even when I was A LOT skinnier, it was uncomfortable. So I cut it up, added some godets and ruffled sleeves. Basically, the neckline and lace front are what is left of the original. I wish I had taken a before pic, but I just jumped right into this project that it didn’t even cross my mind.

Material Notes

Old top, black china silk (for godets), black poly chiffon (for sleeves)

    Great reconstruction! I really like the pleats at the bottom, especially—great touch.

    Wow – it looks so sophisticated with the lace front and the ruffled sleeves! Amazing! Pity you didn’t take a ‘before’ pic. I wonder what it was like? Would love to compare…
