It List - Deconstructed Tuxedo Shirt

A deconstructed tuxedo shirt with pleated curtain sleeves is the hottest thing you may never find.

So, carefully select a man's tuxedo shirt focusing on the neck size. I love going into Marshalls or TJ Maxx to dig through a varied selection of shirts all under $25 dollars.

Pull the collar and sleeves off the shirt with a seam ripper. Cutting the sleeve horizontal (straight down the middle). Use the fabric to create two tortoise shape cups and add a hem. Pleat the top of both tortoise shaped shells and attach a shell to either shoulder of the shirt. Adjust the hemline and add darts where needed.

If this task seems to daunting simply take the shirt and instructions to your local tailor.
