Whitney at Freshly Given got her inspiration for this DIY wrap top after looking through vintage ads. In the comments someone asked how long and wide the finished blouse was. Whitney’s response was:
I just measured: width 20 inches, length 20 inches. These measurements are based on the top being folded in half at the shoulder/ neck area. So the width is shoulder to shoulder and the length is top of shoulders to bottom of waist.
Rhinestic’s Knic Knacks’ Version here. The neckline is different on her blouse. Note: Life Magazine Collage at the top came from this site.
Smunch’s Version here. The neckline is different and the sash doesn’t go across the entire back - just on the sides.
Recyled Fashion’s Tie Dye Version. Her tie goes from back to front to back and is tied in the back.
Meg the Grand’s Version. She wished that she had used fabric that looked more the same on the right and wrong sides.
