Were you almost ready to get rid of tops that were too short? Have they been sitting in your closet for a long time not being worn? What do you do when you have a top that you consider to be too short?
You can add a top extender underneath it to make it longer! Age doesn’t matter. There are different kinds of top extenders, or what may be considered tunic-length tops with a hem made of lace, ruffles or chiffon.
Previously, I wrote about skirt extenders. They are used to lengthen tunics or dresses that are too short for you. You can read about those in my post, “What in the World is a Skirt Extender?” HERE.
A top extender or tank extender can be worn with a kimono, vest or any top over it. Then you can add skinny or straight-leg jeans, pants, leggings, jeggings or a slim skirt.
