Have a ton of over-sized t-shirts but nothing flattering to wear this summer? Why not Turn that old T-shirt into a stunning summer tank like the one pictured below??? Read on for instructions and more information on how to create your own classy tank top out of an old T-Shirt!
To make this one shoulder tank grab you will need
- An old t-shirt (Extra large mens tees work great)
- Scissors
- Make a diagonal cut from underneath the sleeve (arm pit) on one side up to just outside the collar on the other (cut off the collar).
- Cut off the other sleeve.
- Cut the seam at the top strap next to where you just cut the sleeve off.
- Measure against your own body and chalk a line approximately 13 inches from the top shoulder of the shirt. Draw out a horizontal line right under your breast mid way across the shirt and one a few inches lower (above your waist). Then chalk a horizontal line at your waist and a final one a few inches below.
- Cut along the lines you have marked out.
- Cut the side of your shirt to open it up.
- Put the shirt on and tie it according to your body for a tailored look.
- The second tie from the top should be knotted at the end as it will hang off your shoulder.
- Make any necessary adjustments and pair with a gorgeous necklace.
- You’re good to go.
