Nine Shirts for One Dress...

My husband and I cleaned out our closets! And since the re-fashion-pile grew bigger and bigger, I needed to take drastic measures. :-)

Here is what I made:

I turned these nine old shirts (one is not in the picture):


...into one maxi-dress:


I kept lots of original details, like pockets, collar, buttons/buttonholes, even the shirt hems!



There is not a single piece of fabric in this dress that didn't come from an old shirt.
For lots of how-to pictures from each step I took, please visit my blog: Of Dreams And Seams.

Happy re-fashioning to all of you!
Best,
Katja
