XXL men's shirt to dress refashion

I love finding XXL men's shirts to refashion.  There is so much fabric to work with.  This happened to be a 4XL polo shirt with buttons and a collar.  I really liked the stripes and was anxious to turn it into a dress.  I was able to lengthen the dress by using the excess from the sides and turning the stripes upright.


I cut off the collar and turned the shirt around so the buttons were in the back.  Black stretch knit was used for additional trim and to finish off the neckline and sleeves.

Wow, did you really make that fab dress out of a men's poloshirt. Amazing.

That looks fantastic. I love the contrast of the stripes going at right angles in the skirt.
