Golden Girl

Found this for $5, but it was 3 sizes too big. So what do you do with a shirt that's too big? 
This...

Sew in the sides to make the shirt fitted.

After a few tries of taking the sides in, grab a small piece of elastic and insert into the hole like so...


Sew elastic in place at one end.  I preferred to sew it twice in case the first time was too close to the elastics end and it unravels during a wash.


Sew the bottom in place and now you have a side-gathered top.

I didn't do a thing to alter the area around the shoulders since I wanted it to drape over the shoulders.
