I {Heart} Making Shirt Dresses

I thought I would share with you the new shirt-dress I made last night.



All you need is a 1 1/2 yards of knit fabric, an old shirt and a pattern for a dress that has a waistband and pockets. I used this dress pattern. I chose the coral because it is "so hot right now" and looks pretty against my turquoise necklace too.

The fabric only cost me $5.47 (I had a 50% off coupon) and I've had this Old Navy top for over 3 years. I have a few more shirts I want to make into dresses because these are so effortless for summer.

  2. Oh good call! That never occurred to me. So much easier, and way cooler, than dresses that all need a cardigan, sweater or jacket because they have no sleeves. Hmmmmm I may need to dust off the sewing machine.

  7. Love this! I hope I'm brave enough to try this one day. My sewing skills are only ok, but I love how these are so simple to throw on and go, and they cover all the right places.

  14. i LIKE the Color combination. I tried making one but my tshirt was to baggy so the dress made me look fat.
