Welcome to the Teen Fashion tutorial for converting an old t-shirt into a halter top. To join the fun, all you need is an old t-shirt, some scissors & your imagination, so c'mon!

I picked this old wrinkly oversized t-shirt because I am looking to create a cowl-neck affect. Also, I enjoy wearing larger, slouchy clothes that can be belted and paired with leggings. Identify the look you are going for and pick your shirt accordingly; If you are seeking a fitted look, use a tighter t-shirt, if you desire a cropped effect, use a shorter t-shirt and so on...
