This gives sort of a wrapped appearance and can get some excessive volume under control. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-knotted-shirt-hack#post-2037923 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 15:13:01 +0000 BlueJay 2037923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooooohhhhh!!!! *light in head goes on* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-knotted-shirt-hack#post-2037922 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 15:11:04 +0000 Marilyn 2037922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great!&nbsp; I've tried pulling longer tops through a belt loop in an attempt to rein in the length but never thought to try a knot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-knotted-shirt-hack#post-2037917 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 15:01:41 +0000 Carla 2037917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, there are issues to deal with when linking your top to your bottoms this way. #1 belt loops are off to one side (left or right) so a button down could be pulled a little off center. It isn't such a problem if the shirt has volume or long shirt tails, and isn't an issue with t-shirts, where you just tie assymetrically. #2 bathroom breaks - but not really any more complicated then doing up a belt or rearranging a semi tuck. :-)</p> <p>Bj1111, Suntiger - about the pool table! <a href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rec-room-renovation" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....renovation</a>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-knotted-shirt-hack#post-2037915 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 14:56:28 +0000 MsMaven 2037915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant!

I have the same problems as you when trying a knotted shirt. I just thrifted a tee for July 4th that I know is too big for me to get some length and tying or knitting space. If successful, this may be repeated with some mens’ shirts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-knotted-shirt-hack#post-2037854 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 04:39:49 +0000 Suz 2037854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very clever!

Would try with a skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-knotted-shirt-hack#post-2037766 Sun, 23 Jun 2019 16:53:30 +0000 Angie 2037766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NICE.

I need my tied tops to hit a little lower to hide how short-torsoed I am, but that trick may work for me with a slightly lower rise.

If I knot, I knot at the hips meaning I also have the riding up problem. Will try at home! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-knotted-shirt-hack#post-2037680 Sun, 23 Jun 2019 04:14:50 +0000 bj1111 2037680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooo...I’m trying this.</p> <p>Now tell me about that pool table... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-knotted-shirt-hack#post-2037670 Sun, 23 Jun 2019 02:08:04 +0000 Emily K 2037670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice trick, there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-knotted-shirt-hack#post-2037669 Sun, 23 Jun 2019 02:06:24 +0000 Carla 2037669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This styling hack is new to me, and has me pretty excited! I’ve struggled with knotted shirts because my narrowest part is high on my rib cage - almost under my bust. Any regular shirt, knotted, rides up above the waistband of my bottoms and shows more midriff than I want to reveal. This hack ‘anchors’ the shirt to your bottoms, and keeps your midriff covered.</p> <p>You will need bottoms with belt loops, and a top that is long enough, or full enough at the hem, to knot. You then thread ‘bunny ears’ through the belt loop (left to right, and right to left) then tie off in a knot.</p> <p>I’ve never mastered the semi tuck, but I’m on-board with the knotted shirt after learning this trick! </p>
