DIY project: anthropologie’s fancified boatneck $58
in my closet:
a black/white stripe top c/o romwe
and lace i purchased from etsy
I cut the bottom of the tunic and sewed it shorter and added the lace on the shoulders.
you’ll need:
lace
striped top
liquid stitch – (oh how i love thee! β₯)
estimated time: 10 mins.
project cost: low
(mine was only $5.71 for the lace since i got the top for free)
skill level: very beginner
the result:
i saved over $50!
tips:
*anytime you use liquid stitch, i recommend hand washing.
the glue sometimes comes off through the wash cycle.

I love this! (I saw a similiar shirt at the store a few months ago…but it was a little too pricey for me…) But now I can make my own!
Janelle says
Yours is prettier than Anthropoliogie's because the lace you used is nicer π
