Taking It In, Part VI: Pin-Tuck It

I loves me some orange. But not when it comes in the form of a big, shapeless shirt.

Pin-Tucked Shirt Refashion - Before

I used a series of pin-tucks - six down the center back and three to either side of the button band - to take in the body of the blouse. Then I shortened the sleeves and gave them a few of their own pin-tucks.
Now I'm all set for autumn! Not only do the pin-tucks give it a bit of a tuxedo look, but vertical lines are slimming, no?

More details at CarissaKnits. And that concludes my button-up alterations for now. Thanks for playing!
