Anyway, I wanted something hippie/spring, so I chopped chopped chopped....a lot. I just need some high waisted pants to go with these crop tops, that would do the trick.
On another note....my husband says I have a gunther or panis in the second photo below....and I can live with that. What I can't live with is how serious I look in all these photos.....come on Lizzie...loosen up a little, will ya?
I cut the bottom or the shirt at an angle to create a long back and short front (in love with this look right now). Then I cut the sleeves of just under the lace so there was no hemming necessary. I left a raw look at the bottom of the shirt, and in order to prevent a lot of fraying, I sewed a straight stitch around the bottom, very close to the edge.
