okay! I am really really proud of this t-shirt recon!!! I put waaay more work into it than the halter (which I now plan on going back and spiffing up a bit). This t-shirt is from my friends TV show, Nightmare Theatre and could be viewed as a collectors item since the shirt is out of print (you know who you are ...and don't laugh at that). Doesn't it make me look stacked too!
back view
close up of backI used the same spider web fabric as Mrs. F's apron along the sides of the back closure and put those eyelets in myself
(those are fun to do!)
this is a better shot of the image on the front
Now for the how to....I made it all up as I went along. I can tell you that I patterned the basic shape after the same shirt that I made the halter from. I also put some elastic along the front edge to ensure it would not slip down. For the back I sewed on 2 panels of the spider web fabric and put 1 row of boning on each side. I hammered in the eyelets and then used red ribbon for the lacing.
I am soo loving this top! I plan on making Dixie Doll Heather one as well, since her hubby is The Baron on Nightmare Theatre. Then she and I are going to go to the events and wear them and be Nightmare Theatre whores! Ha ha ha!

You DO look stacked! hahaha
I need to learn some bravery and do some re-cons of my own.
Not only is your house cuter than mine, your t-shirts are too. That's a wicked design. And stacked++!
I don't know what state you live in, but you aren't in the Seattle area and know a band called Dudley Manlove Quartet do you? Just wondering, because your t-shirt has Plan 9 on it.
Love the halter one! very cute. I keep wanting to attempt it...
Love the blog!
oh i love it!!!
That is so cool!!! I love it and the halter top. Can't wait to see what else you have planned for your big T's.
I also have to say I love all the cool retro recipes you make. They look so yummy. You make me want to live in the 50's all the more.
Oh yeah, you are IT girl!
