\"\"<\/a>Inspired by Traci at Amazing Mae<\/a>, this was an experiment to turn a men’s dress shirt into a summer dress for Goose. Some things I sew turn out fine. But some things work out wonderfully. And I’m in love with this little dress. It was the perfect light-weight dress for our seaside outing.
\n\"\"<\/a>——————————————————————-
\nI started with this men’s dress shirt (asking my husband’s permission first, of course. His response, “I wore that all the time when I was single. Is that why I couldn’t get a date?”
\nWell, I’m not passing any judgment here. But seriously, it was 2 sizes too big for him. Thus, time to refashion):
\n\"\"<\/a>I removed the shirt pocket (which was fine and didn’t leave any holes or marks behind). I kept the front buttons in-tact, though the dress doesn’t open all the way because the neck is sewn all the way around for the elastic casing.
\n\"\"<\/a>and it’s also sewn all the way around at the waist. The dress needed some spice; and a yellow waistband seemed to do the trick. I created three casings and strung skinny elastic through two of them to gather the waist:
\n\"\"<\/a> And finished it off with a new hem:
\n\"\"<\/a>The dress fits great, my husband is pleased with the transformation, and it was so comfortably perfect for summer weather…..I want one too.
\n\"\"<\/a>Want to make one?
\nYou’ll find the complete Shirt Dress tutorial HERE<\/a><\/span> (and in the Tutorials<\/a> link at the top of the blog)
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Let’s hope the weather stays this great.
