Transforming a $5 T-shirt Into a Regency-Inspired Top!

Historybounding doesn't have to be expensive! In this video, watch as I take a plain, $5 t-shirt and transform it into an adorable, Regency-inspired top. Using a historical pattern as a base, and maybe a little bit of my chaos!brain, I reconstruct a plain baggy t-shirt into something that fits my budget and enhances my wardrobe! I used to do this all the time back in college, taking old shirts, cutting them up, and re-sewing into something more visually interesting (and flattering.) T-shirts are total blank canvases, and I love that they come in so many different colors. You can find them at pretty much any box store, including box craft stores, where you can keep an eye out for a sale and get them very cheap. Even better, dig out that baggy t-shirt in your closet that you never wear and give this technique a shot! I thought Regency would be a fun era to try this on, because its shapes are so recognizable, and it would give me a chance to add yet another puffy-sleeved top to my wardrobe. While the nature of knit jersey doesn't really lend itself to structure, I think the sleeves are super cute, and I cannot wait to wear this cute little top to work! What era do you think would do well t-shirtified?
