DIY: How To Make a Deconstructed Shirt

00:18

If you don't know what any of this is about, I implore you, type "deconstructed shirt trend" into any search engine of your choice and get properly educated.

I'm actually really loving this trend and I feel the more subtle styles might sneak into our wardrobes and become staples just like the skinny jeans (my favourite reference).

I thought it would be fun to recreate some styles I liked. Ended up doing two and restructuring some of the styles but alas, here's the tutorial.

For the asymmetrical style;

You will need:

-white shirt of choice

-scissors

-taperule

-glue

-needle and thread

Step 1

Lay your shirt on a flat surface. Making sure it's properly aligned, cut one arm off. That is, the arm you want the asymmetrical style to be.

Step 2

Cut diagonally, in the direction stated above. Don't worry about the arm hole, we'll fix that later.

Step 3

This is where the needle and thread come in. Make a dart.That is, taking out an amount of fabric as illustrated above, sew a line on the inner part of the shirt (the wrong side).

Step 4

Hem the initially cut-out part using glue (more efficient and time saving). Adjust the arm hole to size.

And you're done!
