I've been searching for a short-sleeved brown cardigan all summer with no luck. I bought a $5 t-shirt at JcPenney's last month. I cut half of it off from the bottom and cut up the middle. I had brown shoe laces that I cut down (burned the cut ends to keep them from raveling) and sewed into the V-nceck of the shirt. Simple and goes with all 3 sleeve-less dresses that I needed to cover up.
Next shirt, just didn't fit well anymore. I was going to give to Goodwill, but decided to experiment on it. All I did was cut up the middle to the buttons. I tried it on with 3 different outfits.
Here is another shirt exactly like it not cut and the cut version.
Shirt #3 I got a little fancy with. I cut off the bottom hem and cut up the middle to the buttons. I sewed the hem into a ruffle and attached over the buttons.
Identical shirt not cut & new shirt:
Very creative!
