I just bought a formal short-sleeved shirt to wear under the blazer/ alone. It is really a nice shirt, but after ironing it for the first time, my spoiled ironer scratched and made a small hole on it (not really a hole, but the cloth in a small area is so thin that if you look closely to it you can see through). This small area is right next to the centre button, chest-high position and I don't know how to hide it.
I am thinking of layering a big and long necklace so part of the necklace will cover that small area, but like that I can't ensure the covering because when u move the necklace will move from that area. I also think of putting a bow or some decoration on it to cover but I just can't have any idea what should i put on so that it doesn't look weird. Last idea is to put a scarf on,but this formal shirt is stripes of pink and white, really hard to get a matched scarf.
And it is a very nice and expensive shirt.... how? should i ditch it? or anybody could help me on how to fix it? it is just a small little tiny hole, but still, can't wear it alone...
Some ideas for your shirt:
Get some nice wide grosgrain ribbon, in a compatible color, like darker pink, and attach it down the front of the shirt on either side of the buttons. You'll need pieces on both sides.
Or, you can attach "jewels" along the vertical lines. They are available in plastic, and have holes for the threads. They don't have to be in perfect alignment. You could use beads, too.
There are many "embellished" shirts that you can look at for ideas.
Here's One.
and here are plenty to copy from: Beaded
Be sure that the beads or jewels are big enough to look purposeful, not skimpy.
