A few months back I bought a top, a gorgeous top........
....one with beautifully covered buttons adorning the neckline.
It has a beautiful lace trim, but for some reason this top has a big chunk of white fabric underneath the lace and it has really been
annoying me, it looks like a big band of white around the biggest part of my ......curves! This isn't a good look I
assure you.
So today I decided to rectify the "big white band around the butt" problem and cut it off!
After a little run on the trusty old
overlocker it looks much better.....don't you think?
This is a top which is perfect for extremely hot weather but because I'm so over buying nice things and saving them for a special occasion and one or two seasons later realising that I spent all that money and only wore it twice, I decided to layer it up a little with a black T, now I can wear it all year round.
Just
incase you had forgotten what I look like and the fact that I like loads of people hate having my picture taken, here is a little bit of a look at me with my newly restyled top on.
For more Creative Spaces head on over to
kootoyoo and say hello.

i like your changes and wearing it with a black t-shirt. we get so much more wear with summer items wearing something underneath ... and it looks totally funky. i love the black and white combination.

Its a lovely top - you did a nice little refashion there. In fact you have inspired me to go change a little-bit-too-long top that I really love but rarely wear because the length is unflattering.
That is a gorgeous top. Good idea to make that little change so that you can wear it & feel great - looks lovely!
That sure is a lovely top. Great idea to wear it with a T underneath to get more wear. You could also wear a long sleeve T or a cardi to get even more wear into Winter. But I'm sure you've already thought of that!
Fabulous, looks great! Have a Happy Easter too ;)
Lovely job on a lovely top! Have been having a delightful time exploring your blog. You make some absoutely gorgeous things! Thanks for popping into my new little blog and for your lovely comment. Hope all is well in your world :)
You did a fantastic job and it looks great on you!
Looking good! What a difference that little bit of snipping and overlocking did. Have fun wearing it.
I love "Fixing" clothes :) And OH MY LOOK AT THE OWLS! So lovely!
much better without the white band!
it's amazing what a small change can do.
Oh gorgeous top!! I haven't seen one like that. I always thought I would trade my machine in when I upgrade but I think I would now keep it for my daughter :-)
