Steps (2 steps, 150 minutes)

  1. 1

    1) Cut the collar. Measure where you want your belt to be, and draw a line from the shoulder seam to that point from both sides of the neckline creating a deep V-neck. Also, remove buttons.
    2) Zig-zag/serge raw edges.
    3) Hem the neckline with lace. Just place the lace on the right side of the fabric covering the zig-zag edge by about 0.5 cm and sew into place.

    4) Attach two long strips of ribbon to one side of the blouse in the front and sew into place.
