Project 1**************************
-Take a long sleeved dress-y shirt.

Do up a bunch of buttons, and put it on backwards. but slide is down enough so it stays on when you put it over your arms.
<--- having trouble explaining.haha. look over there.

Take the collar, and fold it backwards towards your body. tuck it in.

Take the arms from beside you, and cross them behind you, and twist them towards the front.

Now. There are 2 options for this.
On THIS dress, I took the buttons from on the sleeves, and buttoned the two sleeves in the front, creating a belt-like-look. It looks amazing! The other option is just putting them together with a pin, bow, or just whatever floats your boat.

Tuck in any sleeve bunchies on the side and make it smooth, and rock it. :D

Project 2***************************
Find a long sleeved tee, and put it on so the neck hole is around your body.

Take the arms and cross them around your neck. tie.

Rock it baby.

Project 3***************************
Take a large t-shirt, and put it on like the others. With the neck around your body.

Take the arms, and tie behind back.

Enjoy your fab piece[s].

i just tried all three and loved them!
i ran into a little trouble with the halter
one, the sleeves weren't long enough, but if
i get the right top i'm sure it would look
just as good as the other two.

Thanks for all the fabulous comments. =D
And that's great that they worked for you!
When I first did it, I had a wardrobe malfunction in Wal-mart. *blushs*
I have perfected it now, though. haha.

i attempted every single on of these with no success, the first on i couldn't get the sleeves to wrap around my body. i had the long sleeve button up like said above(actually a large button up shirt), and i wear a small so i don't really get the issue with that one, but yeah. the other two... is there so magic trick to get the neck to actually it around my body cause i so do not see that happening. again, i tried with a large shirt with no luck. please explain.
