DIY Off-the-Shoulder Top

I know I just posted a DIY off the shoulder top a couple weeks ago but I just can’t get enough of this style of top and how good they look on any body type. Not to mention, how easy they are to make too! This one is a little different than my last tutorial; it’s made in a stretchy/knit fabric and doesn’t have a a contrasting trim. That means you can make this version in a bunch of different colors or prints and they’ll all look amazing and different. Ready to get started?

Embroidered + Cutwork Skull

Last week my family and I took a trip down to the beautiful city of Carmel to shoot. The weather was perfect and you could see the seas afar with no clouds or fog whatsoever. This post is just a sneak peak of all the photos we took there; there will be a full post next Saturday!

Today’s main focus is this embroidered skull tee I made. Believe it or not, this was 13 hours of stitching and I couldn’t be happier. There are little roses and vines surrounding the skull, making it slightly more feminine and less plain. “Webs” are in place of the eyes, nose, and mouth and the fabric is just cut out. With a bralette, I think it’s super cool and unique, unlike anything I’ve ever seen. A $3 t-shirt turned couture. :) What do you think?

Off-the-shoulder tops were so on trend over the summer and I’m just now catching the reason why. They’re so easy to wear and are perfect for the heat without exposing too much skin. Today I’ll be showing you how to make your own from just a little fabric and trim. It’s basically 2 tubes overlaping each other, one to go underneath your arms and one to go across them. Like all my other DIYs, it’s super easy and if you have any questions, just let me know! On with the tutorial! :)
