Shorten a t-shirt that is too long without cutting it: the belt technique

For this first trick, you just need to take one of your belts, regardless of the color or shape, it will not be visible on the final rendering. On a shirt or a top that is too long, you will slip said belt around your waist and use it to pull up the excess material. This will give you a bloused effect, perfect for wearing a top with high-waisted jeans, for example.

Turn a top into a crop top with an elastic

For this trick, you will need an everyday accessory that you already have at home. With an elastic, you will surround the bottom of your top, adjusting the fabric well around your waist. You will thus find yourself with a ball of fabric that you just have to slip under your top to hide it. Easy as pie !

T-shirt too long tip: the bra technique

Another option, just as easy and effective for wearing the short t-shirt: use the underwiring of your bra. You are going to make a cuff on your t-shirt that you are going to go up to your bra and then slip it inside. Just insert 1 or 2 cm of fabric for the lapel to hold in place.

Shorten a top that is too long with an iron-on tape

You may have used it before for curtains that are too long, but it's just as effective for making a top shorter. Two options: you can cut the excess material on your top and use the iron-on tape to make a hem, or, if you want to shorten your top by only a few centimeters, you can apply the tape directly without using the scissors box . Go back and forth with an iron to keep it in place, and you're done!

With these tricks, you can shorten a crop top or a top that is too long at home and in just a few minutes. Which will you test first?
