Button-front Shirt Refashion #2

For my second refashion, I took a soft, purple, short-sleeved, rayon button-up shirt and turned it into a racer-back tank top. I traced the neckline and shoulder lines of an existing tank top while I had the shirt on my dressform. I took the side seams in a little bit right beneath the arms but left the fit pretty loose. I couldn't make enough bias strips to finish the neck and arms with the short sleeves, so I found a bit of black knit fabric to use instead. The armholes gaped strangely, so I ran yarn through the bias trim on the armholes and used them like drawstring casings to make things look better. And voilà, a cute, light and breezy summer top.
