I made the design of this shirt in chemistry class as a lab and didn't like the actual shirt itself. So, I did a recon of it. Hope you like!

CUT THE NECK. Try your shirt on and see how long you want the neck to be. I wanted mine right below my bra band. Make sure to leave seam allowance!
ATTACH THE BAND. Taking a ribbed band from another shirt, attach it to the neck. You may have to stretch the band a little to make it fit. You don't have to have a ribbed band and can just use some other stretch fabric, but it thought it looked better.
SHIRR THE WAIST. I started right below where the neck comes to a point and did five rows. for tutorials on how to shirr, here are some great ones.

FIX SLEEVES. If you want, you can adjust the sleeves or the hem line, but i didn't need to.
