Product Description
From their vibrant offices in Harlem, New York City, fashion designers and entrepreneurs Carmia Marshall and Carmen Webber (the Sistahs of Harlem) are taking fashion to a fresh new level. The Sistahs groundbreaking mix of urban style and modern haute couture is gorgeous and distinctive; it has already earned praise from publications including YM, Essence, Jane, Seventeen, Time Out New York, and Ebony. Carmia and Carmen are poised to bring Harlems rich culture and bold style into the forefront of fashion design, and their first book embodies their creative, D.I.Y. sense of style. T-SHIRT MAKEOVERS takes the most basic street-style staplethe T-shirtand shows us how to turn it into haute couture. The possibilities for a basic shirt are amazingly varied, and the Sistahs outline the steps for each creation: an intricate tank top, a kimono-style blouse, an asymmetrical dress, a ruffled top. Carmen and Carmia provide insights into body types, color use and personal style, inspiring readers to use their own fashion instincts to personalize their creations. With full-color photographs and step-by-step instructions, everyonefrom beginners to expertscan find projects to suit their skills. Some blouses and dresses are complex and challenging; others are so quick and simple, you dont even need a sewing machine. With such endless possibilities, T-SHIRT MAKEOVERS has wide appeal. Any young woman with an interest in high fashion, hip hop, or pop culture will find something inspiring here; any girl who values individuality, creativity, resourcefulness, or fiscal responsibility will love this opportunity to put her skills to work. The Sistahs of Harlem are known for their ability to incorporate various cultural influences into their work, and the styles on these pages take cues from the most unexpected places: the streets of Harlem, the bright lights of Tokyo, and the beaches of Cuba, to name a few. Each creation featured here has a rich background and personality, taking fashion beyond simple aesthetics and infusing it with meaning. With the Sistahs help, readers will see their old T-shirts spring to new life though their own hands.

Stunning Nov 13, 2006 (20 of 20 found this helpful)
I love this book. I've bought quite a few of these tshirt makeover jobs, and been a little let down. But this - this beats them all. There are a bunch of ts I can see myself putting together. And they're different - not like some of the other books out there which give you 50 variations on the same theme. They range from bare to covered up, and each design is graded as to difficulty. There are photos of the Ts being worn by models, and great diagrams of how to do the work. There's even a secion at the beginning where the Sistahs go into body types, colour and so on. Very well done book. Really glad I bought it.

Fashion Fun For All Nov 28, 2006 (15 of 15 found this helpful)
T-Shirt Makeover is a great book for all ages. I purchased 1 book, loved it so much I decided it would be my gift of choice this year. The clear concise directions made it easy and enjoyable for even the "creatively challenged". The styles, ranging from conservative to ultra trendy allows something for everyone. We had a T-shirt Makeover party with guest ranging in age from 10 to 62, not only did we have great fun each guest left with a chic new top. I highly recommend this book.

T-Shirt Makeovers = Great book Jan 16, 2007 (11 of 11 found this helpful)
This has great ideas with complete instructions that are easy to follow. The first project we tried took 45 minutes and turned out exactly as the sample in the book. What a great way to make use of those extra unused T-shirts.

A Must Buy Sep 28, 2006 (13 of 14 found this helpful)
If you don't have this book, you have no idea on what you're missing. The opportunity to be fashionable without even leaving your home. There are so many styles displaying ways to look good in a t-shirt and it's apparent that the styles are for all sizes. Well I have it and Thanks sistahs for wanting everyone woman to be sassy and funky in their old skin.
