DIY Dilemma: My Clothes just don't FIT right

We all have this problem. I usually just blame it on the dryer and it's hateful shrinking abilities.  but blaming a much needed machine doesn't change the fact that my clothes aren't fitting right. but what will.....DIY of course!!! (You know that's how i solve fashion emergencies around here)  If you are heads over heels in love with some of your ill fitting clothes try these simple cuts to make them work a little better for you. If the elastic waist looses it's shape,  

before the cut

just cut right over it and make a cute crop top. 

after the cut: this shirt was inspired by Tyesha's lace crop top

  and don't throw the scraps away, make a cute circle scarf. 

easiest double DIY Ever!

 If the long sleeves aren't quite long enough or are too tight.....  

these sleeves were too tight and too short....not good :-(

  just remove them and keep stepping. 

After the Cut

 


Easter Sunday Outift: dress, bag, belt: thrifted/// jacket: Target///Shoes: Burlington for $7 (woot woot)



  Lastly, If you thrift the Ugliest, most Horrific, Studded jean dress  

  cut off the top and make a cute skirt!   

shirt, belt, skirt: thrifted//// shoes: Bakers/// necklace: gifted

  Then reuse the studs to spice up a shirt   

 What are you waiting for????Go grab some scissors, start DIYing and please please ladies.....quit blaming the dryer for those ill-fitting clothes :-)  ********************Other Scissor Happy Bloggers******************* Lexy of Beauty Fash shows how to cut up a jacket and make it FABSee it here Patrice of Looking Fly on a Dime shows how to transform a retro T-shirtSee it here *****and**** I need your help in creating my new E-BoutiqueTake a quick VOTE Here Find AA on Facebook ** Follow AA on Twitter ** Shop Avid Accents Vintage
