New Sleeve and neck designs for simple tops? Any patterns you're trying/repurposing?

I find trying on RTW that it's annoying to have a whole top lift up from the waist when you raise your arm! I do have one with the regular side seam inside and then a faux batwing on the outside that works. For T's, on Pinterest you can find various ruffles and flowers added. One I'd like to try shows a man's or XL Tee with the extra fabric gathered up to the side and tied.

I love the white one, scroll way down. I found a quality pink stripe Oxford cloth dress shirt at SA with tags on (I guess real guys don't wear pink) and cut it up for GD. Cute and fast, I left on the existing shirt tail hem and put the waist casing for the elastic inside. I used bias tape for the neck tunnel, as turning the top button placket twice made it pretty thick to get the elastic thru. Long sleeves will also get you a matching headband. I think you could re-purpose your own Men's XL for a cute tunic like this. -- Edited on 1/23/13 5:04 PM --
