i bought ready made ruffle from hobby lobby (30% off!) and i used scraps to make bias tape to finish the new short sleeves. it was a quick and easy project and i love the way it turned out. my husband, on the other hand, told me (in a very loving way) that i looked like i should be working at a mexican restaurant.
please tell me-- what is your honest opinion?

it's called a bolero for a reason, right? I mean, they probably wear something like this in mexican restaurants. however, i think the fabric and details you chose make it look feminine and pretty. If you chose black bedazzled fabric with a red ruffle, then i might see Michael's point. But this? It's darling!
I think it's a perfect shade of blue and very elegant :) So impressive!
I love what you did with this shirt! Not really my style, but I certainly appreciate the repurposing. Very nice!

This is lovely! When I first saw it, I instantly thought of Jane Austin. Therefore, it can't possibly be remotely like a Mexican restaurant uniform :)
i think it's adorable. i'd totally wear it.
Erin, Thanks for adding your blog to the blog roll over at Blue Cricket!!! I LOVE Refashioning!!You did a great job!!!
Very cute!
It's beautiful!
I tried altering a piece of lingere one time, and was very excited to wear it for my hubby. But when I stepped out of the bathroom he started crying he was laughing so hard. He said I looked like the tooth fairy. I guess maybe I went overboard with ribbon and lace...
Erin, you're amazing! I'm so impressed. And blue is definitely your color.
I love it! I think it turned out beautifully and I would totally wear something like that. I can't wait to give it a try! :)
Love it!
So cute! I have some shirts that might look better if I did that!
This is such a great idea. I totally going to do this kind of stuff. Inspirational, thanks.
so cute Erin!

I wish I owned one! This is the perfect solution for the dresses that don't cover quite enough in the shoulder area, or have straps. If I had one of these, I could just wear it, and then be able to wear my strappy dresses to church. :)
