It isn't often that I forget to take a "before" picture, but this is one of them. When I saw the long sleeve shirt refashion tutorial from Jessica of Happy Together, I just about tripped over myself to pull out the long sleeve top that was in my refashion pile. So, no "before" picture, but imagine a ribbed long-sleeved top with a ratty collar, if you will.
Here's what mine looked like. It's brown, but still quite pretty. I can imagine a beautiful brooch attached to where the fabric is currently being gathered by a piece of fabric. I can even imagine adding some fancy trimmings and ribbons. However, knowing me, I'll wear it as is.

Here is the back view. The shirt was big on me to begin with, so unlike Jessica's I had to add shirring in the back.

Now, where is my other long sleeved shirt that I've been thinking of refashioning?

Very nice!:) I've been wanting to try this one.
I saw that tutorial too! I would be sewing that up right away, if all my stuff wasn't packed up.
Yours looks great!
It looks great :)
