Cut Out + Keep

Off The Shoulder Crop Top

Turned a teenagers button up into an off the shoulder crop top

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/off-the-shoulder-crop-top • Posted by Jess H.

My 13year old cousin out grew some of his button up shirts (yay growth spurts). and he gave me a few button ups. it fit almost right, but it was too short for my torso, and Boobs. so I turned it into a crop-top (not shown in pics), because I wear a lot of skater skirts (and get tired of tugging my shirt down underneath). It is shown in pictures tucked in and not, doesn't make much difference. I cut the sleeves off, but a bit too low. added lace ( the wrong way). I wanted the lace up on the shoulders, but cut it wrong. it makes me uncomfortable showing that much skin, but looks good. I added elastic to the top, and then some darts. I'll probably do it with a black one soon, and it should turn out better (post it then).
