I took an XL men's shirt, put it on upside down (so the collar is in the small of my back and the hem is creating a collar around my neck), rolled the giant sleeves way up, and buttoned it asymmetrically across the front, then I belted it with the cummerbund.
I love the way this looks but it's not the best outfit in terms of arm freedom. My range of movement there is a bit limited, so this outfit may be only for events that don't involve much reaching and gesturing.
Outfit details:
Shirt and cummerbund: thrifted
Skirt, argyle tights, ankle boots, and necklace: Target

This outfit is FABULOUS. You literally turned a wardrobe staple on it's head. Kudos. Love it.

yours is my favorite so far!
Love the look! Very classic.
Thanks everybody!
I saw your picture up at the Fashion-y Blog and was so amazed! Your idea is so creative and original. Love it :D
The shirt looks fantastic! Well done! I finally added you to my blogroll sorry it took so long. I love the Japanese feel of what you are wearing...
Thanks lalaliu and Lady Smaggle. :-)
It's weird about the Japanese feel of the outfit--I didn't plan for that. I just started playing and about halfway through (maybe even later in the process) I noticed that it looked vaguely Japanese and decided to play that up as much as I could.
thats a neat look!
You worked wonders with that shirt.
Thanks Vintage Bunny and WendyB!
