I got this pretty shirt at WalMart and figured I'd add a little edging to the front of the collar. I'm not going to do the whole way around because it would just be covered by my hair anyway!This top photo shows the color of the shirt best, and the photos below show the tatting color the best. I tatted this Hen & Chicks edging using Olympus size 40 in variegated purples. I did 3 and a half repeats for each side and then hand sewed them by the picots using the blind stitch.
I know this photo makes it look like the tatting is wonky, but trust me it's not and it just looks it from the way it's draping in the photo.
And here is myself in my tatted shirt! I love it!

I've thought a lot about adding tatting to shirts since seeing what you have done. It's so pretty!
Oh I hope you do it would be awesome to see others doing it too!
That is great! I dragged out my old T shirt that I put tatting on out of the closet the other day to wear because of your other post where you put tatting on a T'shirt, I think it was the blue one. The black and white shirt with the white tatting looked great, too! Mine's an old Hane's T-shirt white with white tatting on it. The tatting has faux pearls tatted into it so it does show up.
That's awesome TattingChic are you going to take photos for us to see? You know I still haven't hand sewed that black edging on that shirt yet!!! HAHAHA Silliness huh! I think I was waiting for it to get washed, and I think it is now and hanging, I need to go find it and get it out. Also I was kinda having second thoughts about putting it on that shirt since it had buttons down the front, but then again I can always remove it and put the tatting somewhere else if I so choose in the future.
