Men's Tshirt into a Woman's Tank

It's girls night out!!!!!  We are going skating and it's 70's & 80's night, yes!  But what to wear?!?!

I don't have time to go shop so I must find something at home to wear, hmmmmm....what can I make!?! Damain has a stack of clothes that no longer fit him, they "shrunk"  and I found this shirt!

If Ghost Busters doesn't scream 80's then what does?!?  But this is D's shirt and it's much bigger than mine, see....
















Let's make it into a smaller tank top style top, 80's style.   The first thing I gotta do is cut off the collar & sleeves.

You want to pull the tank top strips so that it rolls the top of the shirt, makes it look neater.  And put those sleeves to the side, you are gonna need em.

This is what I have so far.  Now I got to get those sides back together.  If you know how to sew, I don't, I am sure there is a way neater way of doing this...but again we are going 80's style here, so the more frayed the better right?!?

 Ok, so remember those sides & sleeves I told you to save?  Well, it's time to bust those bad boys back out and cut them into strips.

Now you are going to take those strips and pull them tight, to make little strings.

I did this with both sides and used each side for the original side of the shirt it belonged to.  So, now cut little wholes down the side of your shirt and tie the little strings in knots, all the way up & down the side.

After I finished up the sides and all I tried it on.  It fit great but I wanted the back a little lower than the front, for tattoo show.  I also wanted to cut little strips down the back.  You can either leave the straps kinda falling off the side or you can use another strip from the sleeves to tie it up.  Keep cutting the neck until you get the fit you like, don't forget to pull it to make it roll.  This is what mine ended up looking like.

And this is how it looked on for 80's night:

So, my words of advice and things I might have changed.  One, if I would like to wear this without looking so 80's, learn how to sew.  I would make the straps a little wider and the neck not so wide but maybe deeper.  But overall, for 80's girls night, I think it's perfect!  Time to go skate!!
