I got this tank top from my friend because she didn't want it anymore.
The tank top is from Old Navy and the only reason I decided to keep the
tank was because of the pleats on the sides of the tank. I just love
pleats, but they are very harsh on my body type.
However, I never wore it very much, especially since I moved here (to my new place, which was almost a year ago). Well, I decided that this tank top can also be victorian-ish, due to the pleats and I can always wear it as an undershirt when I have too much cleavage showing. I decided to change the buttons to make it look a little bit more romantic and girlish. Here is how it originally looks like with black buttons running down the middle.
I went with my BF to Wal-Mart to buy some stuff and I stumbled upon these buttons! They totally added to
the effect I wanted and they were only 78 cents! Isn't that just awesome! I finally had some time this morning and I hand sewed all the buttons onto the tank top. Sewing doesn't take long, 1 hour max.
Here is how the finished product looks like with its new white buttons. I am really glad with the outcome of the final product. The buttons were a bit snugged to get through the hole, but they fit just right. I decided not to add anymore stuff onto the shirt/tank because I feel that there is a lot of stuff going on already. I didn't want it to become an over-kill. Well, tell me what you think.

Neato. Why don't you add some ruffles to it too?
Because I didn't want it to be an overkill. I already have pleats in the front.
