Silk Blouse - Sleeve Redo

I scooped up this 100% silk blouse for... $2, I think.

The body fit well, and the silk felt wonderful, but those sleeves? Too-short and too-gathered.

I cut off the cuffs, hemmed the edges, rolled 'em up and reused the cuffs and buttons to make little straps. A relatively quick fix to make this shirt wearable.

    So love this style of blouse! Might have been a "simple" fix but it totally changes the look of it. And I'm obsessed with silk, so yeah, of course I love it! ;)

    I have long arms and over the years have tossed many shirts because the sleeves were too short. I love your remedy. I will definitely use this idea. Thank you!
