    This is my new favorite thing to do with t-shirts.

    I cut slits in the back, realllly wide...and then cut it all the way up the center of the shirt....then tied the strips together...then, voila! A wayyyy cuter t-shirt :)

    yeah, don't think it would look the same on me either... the 5 inch wide bra strap would probably detract from the whole look. (only totally jealous.. hahah.)

    No...cotton stretches...you just have to make sure you get your head in the right hole.

    Nice, I've seen lots of raver girls do that to their shirts.

    Yeah, I was thinking about the chair thing too. I think that is so cute thought! Good idea, I am definantly going to have to try it. Unfortunantly, it will probably be with one of my husband's old t-shirts. LOL

    I couldn't pull off a look like that, but I definately have some tee's that I plan on altering.
