Last week I showed you how to make fabric roses.
This week I'll show you a few ways to use them.
One is to knock off this Anthropologie tank, shown below. It was $78 and is no longer available.
Alert readers may note that my tank does not look exactly like the Anthro tank. Funny thing. I had more roses going all the way up the straps but thought it looked like too much. I took roses off.
Then I found this image of the tank as worn by a real person at The Chloe Conspiracy and realized that "too much" is exactly the right look.
The first step is to make between 7 and 22 fabric roses in shades of one color following my fabric rose tutorial or something similar.
Pin them on to the shirt and try it on. Reposition roses as needed. Remove roses if conservative.
Sew the roses on, stitching along the outside of the center of the rose. This will help it to lay flat.
That's it. Hand wash, I'd say.
