Tube Top Italiano

I love getting free stuff! My friend, Heather gave me this top she purchased while on vacation in Italy. She had worn it a few times, but it mostly just hung out in her closet.

As Heather has great taste, this is not an ugly top. It’s actually quite fetching! I loved the grey hue and the extreme softness of the fabric. However, the sleeves really weren’t my style, and I’d probably never wear it as-is. Not a problem. I removed the rosette, and pinned each side of the top right where the sleeves began. I ran each side through my machine and lopped off the excess material. Now I have a cute and elegant lil tube top!



You can check out a more detailed post about how I refashioned this top right here. Ciao!

Love it! I wish I could pull off strapless tops. I can't seem to find a decent strapless bra though.

I like this refashion, but it highlights a problem I have personally ... I liked the original top too. What do I do if I have a really nice garment that is just not 'me', do I do as you have done here and make it 'me', or do I pass it on to someone who will love it as it is?

@Crafty - Usually I'll pass the garment on if it's already pretty, but just not my style. I reallllly liked the color and the fabric of this one though, so I decided to keep it. :)
