Velvet Shirt Redo Worthy of Prince

First of all, the post re-do shot:

So, I bought this purple velvet button up from eBay a size too big. I figured I could alter it for a better fit. So here is how that went…

The Before Pics:


I used elastic to gather the waist across the back and then I shortened the sleeves and gave them elastic cuffs.

It still didn’t seem finished so I got out some trim and…

Ta Da!!


(I still need to get a pic of me wearing it!)

Yeah, girl, this looks lux. I’d be petting myself the whole time I was wearing it, and humming a lil’ purple rain… Where’s your action pics? I bet it looks amazing on you!

Thank you! So far it has been too hot outside to wear this for even a minute, but soon!

Action shots!
