I found this shirt buried deep inside a sprawling Brighton antique shop - a shapeless behemoth of a garment with an asphyxiating collar, but in an amazing apples and plums print that made my heart sing and my brain scream "REFASHION!".
[That's my homemade paper tape dress form in the photo, not a random bag of groceries!]
I took in the side seams, added bust darts and contour darts, cut the sleeves to three-quarter length, created gathers at the cuffs, finished the seams with bias binding, cut the neckline into a V, used the sleeve cuffs as the front collar and made a bias tape bow for the neckline. More pics on my blog :)
