They are all over Pinterest. Men's Shirt Refashions. I have a lovely stash off men's dress shirts that I buy for my hubby but he refuses to wear : (
After seeing a girls dress on MADE sewn by Dana I decided to give it a try. Excuse the wrinkles as Soren wore it to school today!
The shirt was from Boden : (
My husband didn't like it.
Soren loves it : )
Soren wears a size 8
The shirt was a size 17 neck 34/35 sleeve
I used one of my Japanese sewing patterns for a peasant style top. I used the existing hem of the shirt. I cut out the dress in a very exaggerated A-line shape using the entire width of the shirt towards the hem. I think it turned out great. It is really very flattering on her and I will be making more dresses in this style from yardage and shirts alike.
Cheers!
