Hi, I've just joined this group and used to post on Wardrobe Refashion. I'm so glad there's a place for those of us who were marooned when it closed down!
I'm always in search of the perfect summer dress, and this isn't quite it, but it's close. As I've refined my definition of the perfect summer dress -- knit, has sleeves, no tight waist or other tight parts - I've realized it's probably a description of a nightshirt I wore at age 10. This polo caught my eye in the Goodwill, because of its thin purple stripes (although upon closer inspection, there's no purple in it at all, only red and blue closely put together to trick the eye, and sorry the picture doesn't show the true color). It's thin and has some polyester in it, which gives it a nice drape -- some men's shirts feel a little like cardboard.
I took off the collar and turned it around, added a piece of 1/4" elastic to the top, and used existing sleeves to make the sleeve/straps, similar to a previous T-shirt refashion. (Taking off the collar left a definite semi-circle shape; fortunately they had sewn that semi-circle to the back where the tag went, so I took it off and sewed it back in above the buttons, then turned it around.) The idea is to have a dress that I can nap in, and then go down the street to a restaurant. I accomplish this by removing/adding the purple tie. :)

Lovely! Very clever with the straps - adds enough length to the polo to make it a proper dress!

This is a great refashion!
this came out super cute! I love it! and I have a baggy shirt that might work well for this sort of refashion. Great job!
I love this refashion! I was wondering if you could post a picture of the back? I'm trying to picture what you did. Does it still have the buttons?
What a great idea! I really like this refashion!

Hello people! Are you bored of your old plain shirts, or you want to get a customized mug with your picture on it? So, this heat press machine is the best thing you can get. It is a designing device which transfers a graphic design on a substrate. That would print any digital art to your t-shits, mugs, mats, garments or whatever you want to get the print on.
