Asymmetric Modification

I saw this beautifully asymmetric cotton tee at a beach boutique. I loved its design, just not its price. It did inspire me to try this one sleeve modification to a shirt I had set aside for some kind of refashion. I've been waiting for cooler weather to wear it, I'm so looking forward to it! This is 1 of 3 white tops in my closet.

I used the original cuff as the neckline attachment and made a new bodice edge from the detached sleeve material. My cuts were done free hand; the front cut and back cuts were made separately. They were married to the new neckline piece. I added a ribbon hanger loop.

As you can see based on these 2 pictures, just taking off the sleeve and adding a neckline attachment was not sufficient for a proper fit. I had to take in the side also due to the roomier design of the original sleeve.
