DIY: Shirtdress


I'm back with another DIY and this week I made a shirt dress from 2 men's button up shirts. By using two shirts I was able to make the dress color blocked. It's best to use shirts that are much larger than you. I used a large for the top half and an extra large for the bottom half. I ended up not having enough for the dress to wrap completely around me, so I used leftover scraps and created side panels. Next time I will use a 2xl button up.






I'm not really big on dresses but I like this style and it was cool to make. Are you big on dresses?

    i love dresses, but haven't worn one in a while due to the weather. this, though, with some tights would be perfect for a chilly minnesota day!

    If the weather was colder, I would have definitely added some tights. :-)

    I adore dresses. I guess, I can assume that it is not cold where you live. Lucky you. Love the finished product.

    I'm not big on dresses either, but I like this! I really like all the colorblocking you've been doing lately. The panels on this are really cool (even if they were originally just for function!)

    It worked out in the end! I did have thoughts of tossing it away and I'm glad I didn't :-)

    You are so talented with making clothes, I wish I could make my own clothes, I'd probably stitch my fingers together and end up at the hospital lol. Love this dress on you.

    You did a great job Mo! I was wondering about the sides (wtg side panels). Your booties are so sassy. Love the buckle on them! Great look from head to toe girl!

    I am big on dresses, and I love this one! (And I even love the side panels- happy accident!) I've had ideas floating around my head for something similar, but have yet to act... thanks as always for your inspiration!
