    SIMPLE CROP

    Looking to personalize your Bid Day shirt with a little bit, but don't know where to start? When in doubt, go with the easy and beginner-friendly DIY crop top! All you have to do is grab some scissors and cut the hem to create those rolled edges on the bottom hems. For a more dramatic look, go for a serious chop and transform your shirt into a true crop top. Don't stop there though, you can also cut the hems of the sleeves to match the bottom for a cohesive look. This is also a great option if you can't get too crazy with the customization based on chapter or school rules!

    halter top

    So, you're looking to make your Bid Day shirt stand out ... have you tried to make it a halter top? It looks complicated, but there's a ton of different ways to make this trendy DIY top. The easiest way is cutting the sleeves in to make a halter top, while leaving the collar and back alone. But if you want to try something more daring, cut the back to make it a beachy, back tie top, and then cut the collar to match. It'll look like scraps when you first do it, but after tying it on it'll fit you perfectly! For those who want to go all-out, consider cropping the bottom or cutting some cut fringe with beads tied on for some extra, 70s groovy-vibe. And if you want some extra flair, use a chain necklace as the halter top string! Make a small hole at the top to thread it through, combining your jewelry and custom Bid Day shirt!

    CUSTOMIZE W/O CUTTING

     

    Don't want to cut the shirt up? It's so easy to fall in love with your custom shirt designed by your Bid Day chair and wanting to wear it after the big day! Cutting it up just doesn't feel right, especially if you have a nicer shirt style like a colorblock ringer. We don't love the idea of cutting up custom shirts, either, and have got some ideas for how to customize your Bid Day shirt without making it permanent. You could try tucking the shirt bottom under a sports bra for a fake crop top look, just to start things off. For a fake tank top vibe, tie the sleeves up with some cute pom poms or ties that are on theme. If it's a retro or preppy theme, cuff the sleeves could be the way to go while keeping it simple! If you want something more form-fitting, knot the bottom and tuck it underneath for a more trend look. Rep your sorority's Bid Day shirt all year round with these tips!
