CHECK REPUBLIC COLLECTION | A/W 2011

This entire project is inspired by one shirt I upcycled into a new garment. Once an ordinary grey & white plaid dress shirt, now turned a comfortable tank top and more.

The first tank is the original shirt in which the sleeves were removed and used to finish the neck and the arm holes. Now it's a great summer tank and can be worn by many different genres - preppy, grunge or indie.

The second tank below is my favorite. It's tailored, yet casual and that's what my style is all about. The cuff on the sleeves were used to make the collar and the remaining portions were used on the yoke (on the back) and "placket"-like opening on the chest. It's paired with a beautiful yellow striped jersey.

The last tank exudes so much comfort, yet stylish with grey jersey applique stripes on the front. It's a great piece for those casual days when you want to look nice, but don't want to put much thought into it.
