I must admit that this tutorial is a bit on the advance side but the results are totally worth it! I wanted to incorporate embroidery into one of my refashions, that was on a beginners level and easy to follow.
I came across this embroidered top from the Gap and was so eager to put my skills to the test that I forwent the tutorial altogether. For that reason, I made another for the tutorial, so I ended up with two in different colors. As if that wasn’t bad enough, I couldn’t find another pair of tassels so I whipped up my own. You can find the tutorial here.

I love them both, such a great job. Thank you for the tutorial.
I was curious, do you leave that little pleat that men’s shirt have underneath the yolk in the back as is,?
I did, but if you’d like to get rid of it, you could follow this tutorial here https://www.papermichey.com/mens-shirt-refashion-ruffle-sleeve-smock-dress/
