A refashioned vintage silk blouse...

I come across shirts all the time on my thrifting escapades. I do love me a shirt, but long sleeves are a no no for me; and standard short sleeves I find a little bit "meh". This particular shirt has been in my stash for....ahem....2 years...ish! It's a vintage silk Laura Ashley number and whilst I loved the fabric and the gorgeous embroidery on the collar and placket, the sleeves were way too blousy. A real throwback from the 80's/90's when blousy silk shirts were kind of a "thing". I've had this idea in my head for about a year and this week I finally got around to testing it out.....
There's a quick step by step on my blog. Such a quick and simple fix. My favourite kind!
