Dad's Polos

Ok so my folks are having a yard sell and before i let them get rid of all sorts of cool stuff i had to go through it.

i found all these awesome polo shirts in rad colors that my dad is getting rid of. they are all XL or XXL and i am deff no where close to fitting that in a mans. I love the fabric and could make pillows or dolls ect... BUT i really want to alter it into some sort of clothing item for myself but incorporating some of the polo qualities... make sense?

any ideas???? they are all short sleeves, stretchy fabric, with 1-2 buttons and a collar.

remember they are all big so i have room to work with it.

Well you could just make them tighter and do that, just have your sized-polo shirts... but you could get really funky. Like.. have them off the shoulder, or have off-the shoulder with tank top straps, or you could cut two in half and sew them together [that'd be VERY funky Happy] ... Idk.. there are reallly infinate opppourtunities and idea's, just be creative Happy

gather the bottoms of the sleevs to make them puffy and baby doll like then take in the sides so they fit snug and hem them up so their not as long
and vowla very feminine baby doll ts

you could also cut the arms and neck off and make tube tops or skirts
