    This is SUCH a cool idea!!
    I'm gonna show you how to take a kid's jean jacket and turn it into a strapless corset style top.
    The Alexander Wang version is $400, which is cray.

    You could also do a lace-up back instead of zipper and then you can adjust the tightness by how tight you lace it. Just need grommets & a long shoelace

    • @TheDIYDesigner
      @TheDIYDesigner  Před 5 lety +12

      Yea for sure. As long as you can set those grommets in really well or even use grommet tape instead, that would be great!

      lestrange I did think possibly if you got ever so slightly sweaty that is going to hurt being on your side, your arm would brush the top of the zip , just a thought to consider . Great little number though I must say

      I would also get zip ties, use excess fabric to make boning casings and bone the bodice to make it more corset like and improve the shape.

    I agree the zipper would be better in the back or you could do hook and eyes under the front placket if you didn't want a zipper. Really cute and you rock that.

    I would try a pair of button fly men's or young men's jeans (I think it's the Levi 501's that are button fly. Button fly jeans also gets rid of the gaping problem that you had with the jacket) turn them upside down, belt loops would still be on the waist. Then at the top, instead of straight, you might want to consider, since you have all that length from the legs, sort of a halter or caged back, since you can use that excess for straps/ties. Depending on the woman's waist size, narrow fold a red bandana and run thru the belt loops when done, would be really cute!

What would you suggest I do to change up a white jeans to make it original and fresh, I wore it once to a casual white party but as a plus size woman white pants are not my comfort zone, wanted to reinvent them to wear it in a different way. Can you do such a diy project please.

      @TheDIYDesigner  Před 5 lety

      I think a zipper in the back was actually the way to go. This way you could adjust as much as needed without going lopsided. If you have the ability to re-inforce the denim, you could also put in some grommets and lace it up like a true corset.
