snip snip chop chop

i was procrastinating the other day and decided to cut up an old polo shirt that got damaged in a dryer last year. the ironed-on patches had turned grey from the heat and it looked AWFUL! because the patches were on the front, i reversed the shirt and created a low-back top. since the back was low-cut, i had to snip off more material in the front to make the shoulder bits match. the only problem was that the shirt wouldnt stay up because it was big to start with - so i snipped the front and tied it up to tighten it.
initially i made the back ruched up but because i had cut it too low (to work around the grey patches), it didnt sit well and was rather loose (i.e. hanging instead of classily draped). since the bow worked for front, i repeated it on the back.
can't wait to wear it out! fashion-experiementing is SO MUCH FUN! i'm SO going to do it again! :)
