Where did this split shoulder trend come from? I’m not a fan. I think it’s tacky. But all I can think is, how cool would that look with a big pop of color instead of a hole?
So I got one. And then I filled it in with turquoise cotton. And I like it. It’s so easy. Here’s how:
Materials:
*shirt with split shoulder seam
*scrap of colored cotton
*thread to match the shirt
Start by cutting a strip of fabric 2″ wide by the length of your seam. Finish the edges of the strip.
Then, pin it to the inside of one side of the seam.
Sew it up, but stop sewing 1″ from each end.
Then pin to the other side of the seam and stitch it on.
On both ends, pleat the extra fabric where the seam meets and sew in place.
That’s it! Your seam is filled!
So, when all the split shoulder shirts and dresses make their way to the clearance section when cooler weather arrives (they will don’t worry), pick one up and fill it in!

yes this is very cute.
Sometimes I like the split seams other times not.
The current trend that I cant stand is the high low hems, who wants to show off the lining of their dress! and it just confuses me.
i think it is much better with a filling! lovely idea :)

I love it! It’s really cute like this!
Cute! And I couldn’t tell your hair was darker or shorter until this post… Really cute :)
Such a great idea! I noticed a lady at work wearing one the other day and thought it looked odd, and not in a cute way. I’ll definitely be looking for these on clearance now.
Cute idea!
you looks beautiful with dark hair & red lips!
cute! simple and perfect. :)
I love this idea! I hate those open shoulder seams, too, they’re not at all elegant. But this is cute and a little hat tip to colorblocking :)
Kate. This is GENIOUS. The split shoulder seam IS tacky (almost as tacky as the huge holes in the shoulders), but this is a super awesome way of salvaging those nightmares into something really cute!
Cute! I don’t always mind split-shoulders (although when they’re big, they’re awful, totally), but this is a great way to salvage the style!
great idea :)
great idea! :)
I am not a fan of the split sleeves either.. But, I love this idea.Will definitely try it out.
Oh my goodness! This is so adorable! The split shoulders just seem sooo strange, but this is such a cute touch!:)

I like this much better.
your red lipstick is so perfect!
This is such a smart idea. I love it. I have wondered what people see in the split shoulders, but this is way better than plain split shoulder sleeve things. Thanks for sharing.
THANKYOU.thankyou.thankyou.
The split shoulder really bugs me. I actually have the frame for it, but I just don’t get the appeal. I would MUCH rather add the peekaboo of color. Good job!
