I refashioned this white linen shirt into a swimsuit cover up. I wore it a couple of times and did not feel comfortable in it. The shirt has a lot of pretty details and I did not want to get rid of it. I tried to keep most of them except for the ones on the sleeves.

Now I can wear it to the beach or pool parties and fee comfortable wearing it.

The sleeves were removed and from that I made facings for the armholes |

The shoulders now have a gathered tie. | |

A great refashion, looks good without the sleeves. Look forward to more posts.
so cute! I've been wanting to make myself a coverup similar to this, and I love how you did it :)
Very cute! It's amazing the difference from removing the sleeves. I love the lace inserts too!
