Pink Paisley Top

I bought this top a few summers ago and it was one of my favorite tops. It fit as a tunic that I wore with black leggings. After a few years it became a little snug to be worn as a tunic, but I loved the pattern so much, I didn’t just want to give it away. So I found the snug problem points and altered them to make it fit more comfortably. The biggest problem was the length, it was too long to just be worn as a shirt and it was really snug around my butt. The other problem point was the arm holes, they were too tight and made my arms bulge. SO, I cut the shirt so the hemline sits at the waist, and I cut open the sides a little bit to give it some flare. I cut a slit up the sleeves from the bottom to the shoulder to open it up so my arms weren’t squished.
