Wardrobe Fix: My Top Is Too Big
In an ideal world, all of our clothes would fit perfectly, stores would always have the size we need in stock and weight fluctuation wouldn’t require budgeting for a new wardrobe.
Okay…back to reality. We’ve all got clothes in the back of our closets aren’t the right size. Luckily, there are lots of little tweaks that can be done to modify the fit and appearance. Below is an example of how I manipulated a fun top my boyfriend’s stylish lil sis bought me for my bday (it’s a little too big to wear as is).
First and foremost, I layered a tank underneath to help with the extra room up top and under my arms.
Solution 1: Tie a knot toward one side and tuck in the ends.
Solution 2: Belt it and create a draped look by tucking in extra fabric under the belt.
