- The Wrap Top - Cut a large triangle from the bottom of the shirt and use it to wrap around your bust. Secure the ends with a few stitches or fabric glue.
- The Off-the-Shoulder Top - Cut off the neckline and shoulder seams to create a trendy off-the-shoulder top. You can also cut off the sleeves if you want a more sleeveless look.
