Hi, Pam here from Threading My Way.
Take a man's dress shirt, combine it with a woman's blouse and you have everything you need to make a cute, little girl's dress... no need to buy anything.
For this refashion, I've used a man's 100% cotton shirt and a woman's stretch blouse. I've thrown the label out, but I'm assuming the blouse is cotton/spandex, as it's very similar to my Zumba pants. Even though the two were made from different fabrics, I knew the colour combination would work.
Basically...
- make a bodice
- neaten the neckline
- add sleeves
- construct the skirt and attach to the bodice
You'll find more detailed instructions on how to refashion two shirts into a dress, over at Threading My Way.
Here's the back of the dress...
and the front...
This would have to be one of my favourite refashions. I'm thrilled with how it turned out!!!
My latest dress refashion will be joining the 240+ dresses already linked up to the Dresses for Girls link party, at Threading My Way and to the Clothes Recycling Collection over at Creating My Way to Success.
