Tribal print top goes up a size!

Normally, when thrifting, I'm looking for quantity of fabric so that I can remake an item with no fear of running out of material. Every now and then I find something that is too small for me, that I buy anyway, but clothes can be taken up a size too! Case in point, this tribal print top that I had to squeeze over my head and shoulders for this before pic...

It gaped at the armholes, too. So, overall, not working as was. I had these two scraps of sheer fabric from the sequin jacket lining I'd made into a top that were perfect for enlarging this cropped top. I seam ripped up the two sides, pinned the fabric in place and sewed the panels on each side!

Simple as that! Here's the after...

I'll probably roll the hem under a couple of times and pin in place for when I want it extra cropped (need to find some high waisted jeans/pants!), and will also wear as is with any of my black pencil skirts...yes, I have more than one ;)

Peace,
Andrea
