Secondhand shirt, RVCA pants, Zara boots.
I feel like the blogger homework of late is to have a go at Camille's genius shredded shirt project a la Raquel Allegra. How she figures this stuff out is beyond me, but after I decimated a white Fruit of the Loom I got the hang of it. Never mind Colin looking at me like I had gone mad, even when I politely offered to shred one of his too. It probably says something really strange about my personality that I actually find the process enjoyable and weirdly addicting.
I used an old Army shirt complete with "Lopez" scrawled in pen on the neck. There's no tag but I think the composition is cotton/poly - I'm no pro but I found the process to be a little easier with the slightly stretchy material than I did with the 100% cotton one because the threads are more forgiving and less likely to snap when you tug too hard. Which, if you are like me, you inevitably will. Also, I noticed that the wider I started the panels out at the bottom, the easier it was to continue it upwards. I think I'm going try it out on tie dye next.

wow it turned out so well!! and that colour looks particularly badass;)
That came out really well. I have a tank, but I want to do a shirt now.
Yes, it is addicting. =)
It's so neat! I would probably do the same. How long did it take you, front and back?
Soon everyone will have entire shredded wardrobes!
Rumi, did you shred just one panel? I was wondering if the vertical lines just come out naturally or do oyu have to shred several panels to get that effect?
Ooh looking good. Looks like it's just me who hasn't had a go yet, lol!!

Thanks Mickie ;)
Instant, sweet I'm not a complete freak then.
JEYQ, equipped with a seam ripper it took me about two hours. This would have been more like two years if it was 100% cotton.
WendyB lol new goal.
CC, I did three general panels on the entire shirt, but within them you can create the vertical lines by shredding around completed panels..if that makes any sense.
FP you're up.
Rumi, you have the most fabulous shoe collection! I'd love to be able to pull them off as effortlessly as you do!
Looking gorgeous as always. :)
Definitely looking forward to the tie dye project...i would imagine it to be pretty whack
Camille is fantastic! I forget sometimes that she is 15 years old. Her style and ideas are superb.
I also tried this but had problems with my 100% cotton tee.
In this circumstance, I think the cheaper the tee, the easier it is to deconstruct???
Can anyone please tell me a specific brand of t-shirt to use??
It would be much appreciated :)
Thats so awesome! Im basically the most gimped d.i.y person. My tee would be threads after I tryed that!
i am doing my homework now, because it really looks GOOOD! :) some way to pimp a rather old boring shirt, right?
I like the way you did it, a good way to spice up an Army shirt.
that's one interesting tshirt!!!
Really beautiful pictures!
I've seen Camille's tutorial, which inspired me to try it out, laziness set in very quickly, but I still hope to do it. I love yours in the army green, great job! :)
You did a great job
So good! I will have to give it a go maybe.
looks great! nice job
Wow! Really good:)
I'm SOO gonna try this:D
ditto on the weirdly addicting part!! i started off with one scarf last week ... and now i have four.... i'm passing them out as gifts for christmas!!
your shirt looks awesome!
this is awesome! i need a kick up the backside. been wanting to try it out but laziness gets the best of me - often.
Your shirt is amazing, and like always, the pictures beautiful...
if only i had the patience to do one of these, they look positively stunning!
really like the worn-out effect-really cool
wow cool! i like how the tee also says to lopez, adds personality
the colour is nice too!
please tell us what ur going as on halloween!!
Sweet!
As soon as I saw Camille's video, I grabbed one of my bf's vest and stared shredding like crazy and he was staring at me like a was a mad woman! I tried explaining what I was trying to achieve but I don't think he really cared ;P
It looks great Rumi;) Well done
I love this!
I've just tried it out on a fitted long sleeve knitted turtleneck and it's so sexy!
Basically, I cut off the bottom hem, the turtleneck and the sleeves' hem, and made a wide shredded panel at the front and along each sleeve. It's quite easy with knitwear because the yarn is thicker thus more durable, but its fibers tend to tangle so it needs a bit more pulling.
I have to warn you - it's highly addictive! Good luck and God have mercy on your boyfriends' tshirts.
omg! do a tutorial please!!!!!!!!! :)
omg, your right leg looks like its broken in the last pic!
but cool shirt
Love it!! i already started on mine and im nearly done! it is addictive!! im still not done and i asked everyone to give me a shirt to do haha!! Looking gorgeous as usual girl:D
I have too much blogger homework! lol. I want to do the ripped jeans too
You're good in this! I can't wait to test this myself.

She's very creative! Love the shredding in the front. It looks awesome:)
Army green looks great on you! Love the shirt.
rumi it looks so fantastic!
you and your army green these days...
a shredded shirt tops my list when i have some free time!
nice work, rumi! your shirt looks great!
I'm still working on mine..It's taken me 2 days, because I get ADD sometimes..I also started ripping my leggings..and I'm planning on studding some boots...lol
It turned out really well, I've gotta try this!
Amazing.
K
I'm going to have to try this :]
I still have not tried this....I really need to set a date to work on this project!
yes i'm working on one right now actually! It hurts my fingers a bit but it's fun and I really like this idea.
Wow! I think that turned out really well. Like how you paired it with the pants :)
I've been working on a Hanes' tee for quite some time now. I think I'll try a stretchier one soon. I like the places you decided to shred, too!
nice and simple
im doing one too in my lack of spare time (:
how long did it take for you to do both?
i find it addicting too almost therapeutic
I love this it looks awesome!
I really need to get round to doing it...!
your shirt came out amazing! i love that it shows a bit of the black bra underneath: its sexy but classy.
xoxo,
La C

I agree that camille's tutorial has sparked an interest in many a blogger, myself included.
Your attempt is a total success! looks great!
I'm still working on mine!
i have a question, does the shirt gets wider after u rip it?? cuz i wanna start ripping soon but if this is so i need to get a new shirt to rip. thanks!!!!
what a fun project... i must try soon... but i was reading the directions and there's a strong possibility it may be way too complicated for me lol!

but i would really like to start shredding some of my own stuff, add a bit of uniqueness to some of the very boring stuff i own.
ps im from australia :)
