I LOVE the clearance section.
I LOVE the clearance section at Old Navy.
I REALLY LOVE when the clearance section at Old Navy is an extra 50% off!
Take for example the uber fab navy and white pinstriped button up with a little ruffling at the top that I found for only $3!!! A-maz-ing.
Uno problemo…..
(mind the awesome quality of this super fab photo…and stripes photo OH so well!)
The shirt has about as much shape as a potato sack!
But it was $3 and super cute….time for a rescue!
First, I put the shirt on inside out.
The pin the shirt to fit.
Sew a new seam along your pin line.
And there you go! No seam removing or anything!
The shirt fits SOOOO much better now! Before it was so big that cinching it with a belt wasn’t even an option. Now I can rock it however I want.
Thank you clearance section!
You are too cute Nina! LOVE IT!
Way to go Nina, it looks much better on you now!

You are a genius …..
That is awesome. I never would have thought to do that, and it was so easy I think even I could do it!
The blouse does look fantastic on you now!
Looks great! Awesome idea! I can give some of my 'not-so-cute' tops a second chance now! Hopefully it will look as great as yours.

you are THE cutest! Please come rock my wardrobe!
nice Nina that's awesome! I always feel like when I'm shopping in the Old Navy Clearance section, the stuff is on clearance for a reason. If it's not something you can see (i.e. a terrible color or pattern) it's usually that it has the most awkward fit ever. So proud that you found a FREE way around that!!
What a terrific find. I am a clearance section queen! With your altering, you now have a fab shirt at an amazing price
How adorable are you? I love it!
Awesome! I hate that about some of Old Navy's button-down shirts. They shape just isn't right.
I can't sew….yet. But as soon as I learn, I'll be remember this tip!
Love the stripes and ruffle!
I just did the same thing to a top awhile back. It was too big but was super cute & on sale so I fixed it lol. gotta love it

Ummm, you are amazing! You made this look so simple! thanks girl!
Visiting from LMM! I am also a new follower!
What a great idea……You are so stinking adorable.
new follower coming from LMM!
You know what's so funny? I have this same shirt in purple. And I wore it yesterday! But I was lazy and didn't style it at all. Usually I wear it tucked under this hot cowgirl belt I have. I need to tailor it like you did! Looks awesome girl!
Love how you made that shirt work perfectly! What a deal!
Stopping over from LMM, but I am a follower of your blog already!
Brilliant! Im a new follower of your blog via LMM.
Cool idea! I've never thought of doing that!
OMG! Thanks for that tute! I was always overwhelmed by thought of taking in a shirt. I have the same shirt with the same boxy problem-o…but not for long!
Here's my WIWW with lots of Old Navy Clearance items.

Nothing better than great deals!!
Came to follow from LMM. You are lucky to have such a wonderful BFF and she's lucky to have you. I love what you've done to this shirt!!!
You make it look so easy…want to come alter my bargains?
Nothing like a good clearance rack. I just bought a $188 silk dress for $21. Problem is, whenever I am complimented on the dress, I have to bore the admirer with my story of the good bargain. Maybe I like the bargain better than the dress?
Saw your link-up on Love Stitched, great job this shirt looks fab on you!
So true of some old navy shirts.. no shape!
Wish I knew how to sew, so I could add shape and get a good deal like that! LOL
You did good!
