Teal Blouse Refashion

I picked up this lovely polyester blouse for $2 recently. I wasn't keen on the poofy sleeves and the big floppy bow tie thing. The teal paisley fabric was great though!

I chopped off the sleeves and collar, and I used strips from the neck tie to finish the raw edges.
Without those sleeves and that bow, the drapey fabric and the pleats at the shoulders can take center stage.
