  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

    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.


  3. Step 3

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

  4. Step 4

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


  5. Step 5

    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.

  6. Step 6

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

  7. Step 7

    Project 2***************************

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

  8. Step 8

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

  9. Step 9

    Rock it baby.

  10. Step 10

    Project 3***************************

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

  11. Step 11

    Take the arms, and tie behind back.

  12. Step 12

    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.
