Altered states

I'm one of those people who buy fan shirts, may it be for my favourite TV shows, movies, or musicians. I also like souvenir shirts. I tend to buy the unisex ones and not the ones made for women, which I find are too tight to my liking (even the large ones). These unisex ones are HUGE, which I like, but unfortunately, they are too long which make them all look like my house shirts. What to do?

Solution: I turned them all into cropped tops!

Before:
from Hot Topic
After:

Daughter's comment: "You cut it too short. Now, it's mine."
So simple, you guys. I just used my fave cropped top as a length guide, then basically altered the shirt hems. I think it makes all these shirts more wearable, right? (I just hope my love for cropped shirts does not go away soon.)



A few shirts done...a dozen more to go....

Do you wear T-shirts a lot?

I totally agree with you that the women shirts are always way tighter than on normal shirts! I own a city shirt in XXL (says the tag) which is smaller than one in S from H&M!
I only wear tees around the house but you rock the cropped tee!

The shirts are cool and so is the way you transformed them into crop tops! After that Christmas special, I can't wait for the next season of Sherlock!

Great idea to make them fit exactly how you like them. I love that I Am Sher Locked tee. I think I've seen that come in other accessories as well.

Love how you rock a crop top. They don't suit me at all, unfortunately, cause I do like the look of them. ANd I can't wait for new episodes of Sherlock!

Great idea! Looks fabulous on you. I have problems with these styles of shirts too, I find the women's ones are not a very flattering cut. I want to buy a shirt for the Australian Open tennis but am fearing a similar problem.

So well done! I really want to get a sewing machine so I can make alterations like these to my clothes too. I keep running to the tailor instead

That's very creative! I love buying fan shirts too, but they're often huge on me!

Clever and well done! My hubby is returning from Florida today, I instructed no more tourist shop t-shirts. So he got me some nice stuff, he's arriving later today, can't wait to dig in the luggage. Better not get lost with connection flight and all.
