But you get the idea; big baggy top. I chopped the arms off, and cut the shirt open directly down the center (if you look closely, you'll see that I already cut in the picture). I fitted it to me, added some of the excess white from the sleeves into the back to give a tiny flare, and added a hook and eye at the front. I cut the sleeves off right at the seam, and I like how it eludes to a small cap sleeve, when all I did was roll the exposed edge under and hem it. I love the bright colors, and how this snazzes up a boring tank.

great! :)
Oh! now I know what to do with my blouse like this I got in Romania over 20 years ago. I have never really liked the fit because of a peasant neckline that didn't work on me.
Very inspiring.
