The neckline was enormous, so I put a piece of elastic through the neck band. Gathering the neckline effectively shortened the sleeves, so I only shortened them an inch more. This was a maternity top, so I took off a lot of material from the sides. The yellow lines in the picture below show where I made the new seams.
Then to make it fun I machine embroidered an owl onto the front. I put a stabilizer on the back of the fabric, drew an owl with washable marker, then used various stitches to fill in the picture. I've never done this before; it was fun! Took me a few hours to do the owl.
Here is a close-up of the owl.
