My fabulous cousin sent me a load of groovy photos from days gone by & as inspiration can found just about anywhere…I recreated that rad shoulder-free blouse!

- with a few updates befitting my older self -

Here’s what I did:

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Blouse
  • Ribbon
  • Scissors

Steps (4 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    I grabbed a silky vintage blouse & some wide satin ribbon

  2. 2

    folded the blouse exactly in half with the shoulder, sleeve & side seams lined up then chopped out a semi-circle starting below the collar seam & ending under the shoulder seam (the blouse in the original photo had much larger cut-outs)

  3. 3

    then I simply bound the raw edges with the satin ribbon

  4. 4

    & my cool cut-out blouse was complete!
