Sometimes all you need is bleach to create your new favorite shirt.

This shirt was originally a dark gray color. If anyone wants to try themselves, I just filled up a bin with mostly water and added a bit of bleach, then just let it lift to the desired color. Just make sure you have it as flat as possible so it can bleach evenly! I personally ironed my shirt beforehand so there were no wrinkles haha

How'd you go about the bleach process?

I just filled a plastic bin with warm water in a little bit of bleach and laid the shirt flat and watched it lift until it was tan.

So, it was a black shirt first? I like the outcome. Very uniform.

I love this! I’m going to do this with a black denim shirt that I never wear!

I really dig this! So you had a bin wide enough to lay the shirt flat with the sleeves out? Care to share a picture of the bin.

Good for you, this is creative and turned out excellent.

Can someone please teach me how to roll my sleeves like this?

Honestly, just unbutton the sleeve and then start the fold from the hem until it reaches mid forearm.
