DIY loose peplum lace top refashion

Head over to www.cottonandcurls.com/ for more DIYs!
And more of my life and fashion here at / cottonandcurls
Instructions:
-Try on the top and mark your natural waist and where you want the sleeve to end..
-Cut the sleeve and waist 1/2" below the mark you made
-Put the top back on inside out and mark where you need to take it in. Just as an added help I put a boxy top on top of the lace shirt to make sure that I am marking it right.
-Sew along the marking
-Take the bottom half that was cut off and the extra sleeve that was cut off and cut them all open. match the extra pieces up to make sure they are all the same width.
-attach these pieces all together to make a long piece
-Fold the long piece in half and sew the short ends together into a big tube
-sew a basting stitch along the top of this tube
-pull gently till it gathers to be the same size of the waist opening of the top half
-Put the right side out top half into the inside out ruffled bottom half.
-pin them together and sew
-Cut out the lace edge of the sleeve and neckline if that is the look you are going for. Or you can hem them instead by folding under 1/8” two times.

[@samnabam1590]

I like you video

[@marisotoserna]

When putting on the peplum did u add more buttons and button holes to continue the enclosed area or leave it open?

[@marisotoserna]

Ok I figured it out the peplum is closed I'm guessing the waist has to be big enough to fit over your head and shoulders or wide enough to accommodate your widest hip measurement 😊

[@piatraamazonului]

I really hope u can help me with this. I.m not an experienced sewer but I'm doing just fine for myself. yet l'm really struggling when i'm taking shirt in. they just turn out looking so funny and like the fabric has gathered. is it more to this than what u show in the video, or am I doing something wrong?😥😢

[@marisotoserna]

I don't mean to be rude but do u have large breasts? If so u might need to add darts to take away some of that excess fabric hope this helps

[@TheRudaSuka]

I like you Eli
