I found this simple peach striped shirt in the men’s department for $3.50. The shirt fit just fine, but it was a little boring. Also, please ignore the the small red stain in the picture — I had a cherry popsicle earlier in the day.

With a few fixes here and there, I added a touch of femininity to a men’s plain tee. I shortened the sleeves a few inches and added three white buttons on each sleeve. I was going to call it a day after that, but then I found some lace remnant in my stash and thought it would be perfect to create a V-neckline.

Easy peasy. I love this shirt even more! The shirt may look “tunic” long, but it’s not. I dramatically shortened dress form and found it was much easier to work on it. So, shirts may look a little long in pictures, but really they’re not.
