All you need is a t-shirt, half yard of mesh fabric, and some ribbon or scrap fabric for the bow. It's easy enough that can be hand sewn or machine sewn.

* cut the back of the t-shirt in the middle, leaving about 3" at the top uncut * round the edges (optional, the original doesn't have round edges)
* cut a piece of black mesh in a sort of triangular shape with a round base (the two extra parts sticking out at the bottom won't be necessary if you don't round the edges) * place the mesh inside the shirt and pin the sides onto the side of the cut * trim the excess mesh underneath * make a bow and pin it with a safety pin (so you can easily remove it to wash your shirt)
... and there it is :) side by side with the expensive original! This is my most "famous" project on my blog with about 300,000 views! I sewed with a straight stitch with my sewing machine, the secret is all into finding the right tension, so I suggest to make some trials with the mesh on a scrap piece of t-shirt fabric!
