When I first laid eyes on this shirt I immediately knew I would be doing some "improvements" and 3-Diing it.
This is the shirt before...
... and this is our crochet Botox, with some tulle fillers and pearly implants :)
Of course, as I worked I discarded some of the materials (like the ribbon and the sateen) and added others (like the plastic leaves and light blue tulle).
The first and the most consuming thing was stitching the sequins onto the butterflies. I then added (sewed) the crochet flowers onto the prints and filled the others with artificial flowers, organza flowers and tulle roses accompanied by artificial and plastic leaves. After I finished decorating the prints, the tee felt bare (what an oxymoron!!) and I decided to add a circle of tulle around it. I gathered it as I went along so it gives the tee a nice, finishing texture. I also sprinkled sequins all inside it, but they are not conspicuous because they are transparently bluish.
Do I need to say how much we like it? :)
The title of this post comes from the print -which reads:
Find Joy in the Ordinary Things
(Let yourself shine bright -staccato)
Shine bright!

Thank you Divya! I see that 3d embellished t-shirts are quite popular too, so we'll be trendy this summer!
What a gorgeous creation! One question though. Do you wash it by hand?
Very pretty indeed!
I love how you added all of those things to make the tshirt even prettier!
Hi Nancy! The tee was washed before I added everything and I will wash it by hand the first time. The second time I think I will put it in the washer, but inside out. Let's see how that will go. I secured everything nicely, so I don't expect loose flowers or beads...
Thank you Tina!
:)
