So the 'straps' are more for appearance instead of actual support? Interesting concept. :-)

non-existent user on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 15:56

No i think that's an off-shoulder top.

LikkedbyDeath on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 16:07

Nah I think she cut the shirt to make it look as if there's a tank top underneath. Because actual tank tops give support, and this wouldn't. First time I'm seeing something like this, which is interesting.

PinkPony on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 16:17

When i made this i cut of the neck but it was way too big so i madesome 'straps' so i wouldn't be standing in my bra all the time xd it's actually for 'supporting' as you may call it. :p the sleeves do fall of my shoulders :p
It's indeed something weird and it wasn't what i wanted in the first place but when i wear it, it does look nice :p

LikkedbyDeath on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 16:24

I really like what you've done with this. I love it when a feminine touch is added to something that would otherwise be masculine. Might try it out on one of my bigger shirts! :D

PinkPony on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 16:31

i only buy male shirts and most of the time L or XL when i just need a M. so i can always adjust them if i want to :p because girly band shirts are 95% of the time shit :p

LikkedbyDeath on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 16:36

Same here. Girly shirts are always too tight in the wrong places. I need room to breathe! ;D
But good god men, sort out your sizing. I hate how some Ms are closer to Ss and others are more like Ls lol.
So you just take them apart at the sides and sew it back to whatever size you want?

PinkPony on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 16:43

Yeah or i just wear way too big shirts and don't give a shit xd but when i have my own sewing machine i'll adjust them all :p but it's handy because whenever i want to buy a shirt and they don't have my size i just pick something else, even when it's too big :p

LikkedbyDeath on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 16:49

Lol yeah you can always pass it off as a makeshift dress. :D
Problem is that either the shoulders are far too wide or when you cut the sleeves off, the holes are massive and your bra is showing from the side. Wish the manufacturers/shirt designers would think of us girls more lol.

PinkPony on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 16:56

yeah i have a few shirts (the one from skid row that is on my profile) i did just cut of the sleeves and it's like weird because it is too big. but i always wear something under it because it's starting to get cold again :p

LikkedbyDeath on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 16:58

Cold?? Ahh I'm jealous.

non-existent user on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 16:50

asian sizing?
I'm an international L, but an asian XL.

LikkedbyDeath on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 16:57

International S and an Asian S/M. It's especially frustrating when it comes to buying things online. I have at least three differently sized S shirts in my closet lol.

non-existent user on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 17:04

Contact them for exact sizing info. a lot of smaller distros will do this for you.
or check what brand the shirts are pressed onto.
that also helps.

LikkedbyDeath on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 17:11

Didn't think of that. Silly me.

non-existent user on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 16:49

there are preset fabric patterns and curved rulers you can buy that will make turning a dude's shirt into a chick shirt way easier.
I havent personally used them but ive seen them used and it would probably speed things up a lot.

LikkedbyDeath on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 16:55

What are those things called? I've neither seen nor heard of em. They sound like a godsend!

PinkPony on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 17:04

yeah ,what is this magic thing you're talking about? :p

non-existent user on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 17:16

Ehh. Curved rulers?
I have no idea lol.

Thanks!!

non-existent user on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 17:07

I don't know. I saw my sister use them lol.
Fabric templates or patterns i think.
PM Chemical Burn. Good chance she'll know.

Freyjawulf on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 16:12

Yeah I don't really understand what you've done here that would take three hours, it does look as though some of the fabric has just been cut off. Good shirt of a good band though!

PinkPony on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 16:19

i had to made the shirt itself a bit smaller because it was XL or something. and then i had to do the neck :p it's hard to explain in english ... xD and then i had to made the 'straps' :p and those took me like forever xd but i'm buying a sewing machine very soon (i hope xd) so something like this would take me like 15min :p
