    Is it two separate shirts? The white one and the green one? Or is it connected? If it were just the green one, you could turn it inside out and take in the side seams.

    Or I guess you could get one of those clip things that used to be popular on the back of dresses in the mid-90's to cinch it tighter.

    Or you could sew on some ties to the sides and tie it in back.

    OR you could save it and continue to take pictures in it to show your progress and just go buy yourself a new one in the correct size-- because you deserve a new one!

    Dry It up, or get it altered.

    That happened with all of my teacher clothes too! I'm waiting till closer to student teaching (Spring 2012) to buy a lot more because I know if I invest in much now, by then it will be just as big as my old clothes are today! But I will have to get one or 2 outfits for observing and peer teaching this fall to get me through.

    Good job on losing all that weight! It's a good problem to have! :-)

    It is one shirt all together, white and green. It's just pretending to be two. :)

    First, congrats!!

    Second, try going to a tailor and seeing if they can take it in, maybe add some bust darts.

    You could try a big wide belt, but it may be too big for that at this point.

    I would just cut away the fabric on both sides from the armpit down and then sew them back together. I did that with a pair of pants I really liked. If you cut the fabric with a bit of an arch near your waist you can make it more form fitting.

    Great job, Jorra!

    "Anybody know a good way to make a shirt half it's size? I love this shirt too much to get rid of it."

    The suggestions to get it properly altered are good. I have taken in a shirt "on the cheap" before by cinching up fabric in the small of the back with another thing easy to find in the thrift stores ... a flashy, costume jewelry brooch!
