How to Convert Oversized Shirts into Crop Tops
Here's how you can convert oversized shirts into crop tops and ace the casual, effortless look.
What You'll Need:
- An oversized shirt
- Fabric scissors
- A marker or chalk

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Put the shirt on and decide how short you want it. Use a marker or chalk to make a small dot just below where you want the final hem to be. Remember, it's always better to cut less, as you can always cut more later.
- Take the shirt off and lay it flat. Cut a straight line across the shirt, about 2-3 inches below the mark you made.

- Now, make a vertical cut up the centre of the front of the shirt, from the new hemline to about 3-4 inches up. This creates two flaps.
- Put the shirt back on and tie the two front flaps into a knot. You can wear it as is or tuck the knot under for a cleaner look.
