To tie a shirt with a rubber band, you'll essentially be creating a gathered effect, often at the side or back of the shirt to cinch it in and alter the silhouette. Here's how:
-
Gather the Fabric: Bring the fabric down about an inch at the point where you want to create the tie. This creates a small "ponytail" of fabric.
-
Secure with a Rubber Band: Use a rubber band to tie the gathered fabric (the "ponytail"), similar to how you'd tie a ponytail.
-
Flip (Optional): Flip the rubber band over the gathered fabric for a more secure hold.
-
Adjust and Style: Once tied, gently pull down on the fabric around the rubber band to adjust the gathers and create the desired look. You can experiment with different placements and tightness to achieve various styles.
This technique allows you to customize the fit of your shirt, making it more fitted or adding a stylish detail.
