Two blouse refashions


I bought this blouse from a charity shop which I think may be maternity wear as there's so much fullness in the front
There's like a bib of pin tucks at the front with the part below it gathered on.   I unpicked the gathers, flattened it out and restitched it whilst also forming a new vertical seam, and added a couple of darts in the back.  I also shortened the sleeves and the hem


I used some of the bits I had left over to transform this blouse

There were tabs on the sleeves of the other blouse which I sewed onto the inside of the collar stand

I shortened the sleeves and used the other cuffs

and used the tie belt to form a design and it now looks like this


you can read more about it here and help me with a dilemma!
