[@TransformationsByTracy]

Thanks you are so sweet, I am glad you enjoy them!

[@chlo.rin.e]

This top is so cute! I think it'll try to make it with some adjustments, I just prefer a little more back coverage so I'd simply add a back panel. I can update if anyone is interested

[@christinachen4482]

[@eunice4638]

I literally had a dress like this and gave it away 😭 but Love your tik tok and videos!

[@TransformationsByTracy]

Oh no, well good thing you can also upcycle anything else that’s a 4 way stretch! I am glad you enjoy my videos, thanks for the support!

[@lindseycollins6116]

Love this tutorial! But if you used a non stretchy fabric would you still keep the dimensions the same for the top?

[@oliverosalexae]

Thank you so much for this! 😍

[@nataschaadell]

So pretty🥰

[@marijalapetiteblondie6469]

Great! Im making it now ❤❤❤

[@mabellahipsy9313]

Hey Tracy you are my mentor. Kindly show me what fabric would be best for this top

[@TransformationsByTracy]

Hi any 4 way stretch fabric would work best for this for example any jersey knit fabrics

[@mabellahipsy9313]

@@TransformationsByTracy Thnk u so much for your quick response❤️

[@zenatutoriels2867]

Beautiful thank you

[@paolaa8866]

I love your top! Its so beautiful 😍 but I don’t have a sewing machine 🥺 anyone knows where can I buy a top like this? 💗

[@TransformationsByTracy]

Thank you!!! And I will actually be selling the items I have made and taking custom orders I will let you know when my stuff is up!

[@Liizaaa1231]

I love it!! How many meters do I need for the strap?

[@user-wz4jc4zz5s]

👍

[@Jezza586]

Whenever I try to sew stretchy knit fabric, my machine just eats it up. It is so frustrating! Do you have any advise?

[@emmamakes8501]

Could you do this with a linen or non stretchy fabric for a more rigid look or would it not work?

[@TransformationsByTracy]

You can use rigid fabric just add an extra 1”

[@vanemansilla3216]

Cómo serían las medidas en centímetros?

[@NatiZunino]

what fabric did you use?

[@TransformationsByTracy]

I used a jersey knit fabric so like any 4 way stretch fabric works

[@NatiZunino]

thank you!

[@fashaemolett2767]

😮‍💨😍

[@LS-vq2or]

So cute! but Imma need a whole other tutorial to understand how you tied the strap in the back :o

[@TransformationsByTracy]

Thanks! I have a tutorial on how to tie it on my tiktok!

[@LS-vq2or]
