Peasant Top From Men's Button Up Shirt

very nice

creative

this is a must try

I made one and love it !

this is such a great idea!<3

Now I know what to do with that great plaid mens' shirt I've been saving!

Would this work for and type of shirt? By the way, this is super cute. I've been looking everywhere for one of these. Now I can make it myself!

This is really cute, but isn't the elastic too tight stretching half a shirt's worth around an entire shirt? Maybe it's just my inexperience with a sewing machine, and elastic in particular. Also, do you sew along the middle of the elastic or the edges?

This Is BEAUTIFUL!! love your hair

awesome cute looks pretty easy thanks

Little chica, this is so awesome! Thanks! Im always afraid of clothing sewing projects because I'm a dufus with a sewing machine. (My thang is jewelry and altered art stuff). So I am going to try this, definately!!!

Girl, you are good! And so young....I applaud you!

that is so awesoomme!i clicked the fave button like thrice just to make sure i did XD

süperrrr thanks )

How large of a man's shirt did you use? Just wondering if I would have to sew up the sides first.

Looove this. You look so pretty as well!

wow! thats soo easy and soo awesome! lovin it!

this is a great tutorial and a very cute project i cant wait to make one of these shirts!!!

very pretty and feminine!
what i absolutely LOVE is the little mermaid shower curtain on the background <3

This is such a cute top....sneaking into Husband's closet

This is so cute....I think I'll have to "borrow one of my Husband's shirts and try this out. Thanks for sharing your wonderful idea

So cute! Now all I have to do is raid the man's closet to get at that shirt :]

Did you sew a chasing for the elastic (neckline+sleeves) or did you do it the same way as you described in step 3?

very clever..thinking outside the box!!

love it! Think i'll try this later =P

love it! Think i'll try this later =P

very nice work and very easy tudorial

Great tutorial!

You just made my week!! ♥

It's sooo beautiful

omg... this is to cute i can't wait to try it!!

This is absolutely adorable, especially on you!

This is sooo cool!! Thanks for sharing!

i'm sure that could work too

I think it might work if you took out the sleeves and made it a tube top. What do you think?

This is one of the coolest ways to reuse a mans shurt that I have seen yet. Well done!

sorry i didnt put it in there
but i used 1/4" elastic
when i'm making peasant tops from scratch tho, i use two lines of shirring each at the neck and at the sleeves sometimes...so thats an alternative if you don't have elastic

I may have missed it, but what size/type of elastic did you use?

I adore this tutorial, what a great way to have something cute with being so exposed.

Love how it looks! Going to put this on my projects list.

Thanks for sharing the how-to with us!

I totally love this ! I am making one tonight.

Super couture - and so good,, making masculine so feminine - will try on a tartan or plaid shirt for a rockabilly emo look. x

I love this, I just hope it look as good with bigger sizes

I love this! I've been looking for something else to do with a buttondown!

congrats on having a featured project

This is just too cute.

I have a Fashion DIY link party every week on my blog.

thanx for the instruction, I will give that a try, cos I love them style tops but they not easy to come by this in the shops.

Really nice!

That's hot!!! I so want one...I may have to test it out...though I'm very bad with a sewing machine.

adorable! I like the bottom, I do, very much
