Day 359: Spearmint Dress
Today’s piece was a rare find! 🙂
Extra long = Perfect dress potential!!!!
A Men’s 3X shirt isn’t such a rare thing, but an extra-long shirt is. I pretty much always have to go with shirts that are 3X and above to have enough length to make a proper dress (proper=reaches the end of my fingertips and covers my naughty bits).
Of course, this shirt wasn’t going to work as a dress…yet! First off, as a white shirt it was kind of see-through, so into a bath ‘o dye it went!
Remember that top from Day 355? Well, it wasn’t alone! 🙂
Once more into the green!
Never Bathe Alone! 😉
Since this dress was made of rayon, I knew it wouldn’t take on too dark of a hue, and that was just fine. 🙂 After a rinse and dry, my shirt was ready to be dressified! I took it in about 5″ on each side.
Pin it!
Sew it!
Trim it!
After a quick press, my new dress was ready for a gorgeous summer day! 🙂
Wearing my big girl shoes!
Cheers!

Wow! You really have a fantastic vision for possibilities!!! Who would have known that cute dress was in that hugh shirt. You go girl! What an inspiration you are.
Yes, an inspiration she is! I love shirt dresses. This color looks great on you.
You’re creations make me smile!! You’re a very creative & clever girl!!
holymoly, that is some shirt! you really saved its life. So sad now that we are counting down the days till day 365. Please keep going after that. you have become a ray of SC sunshine in my rainy Scottish days!
Love it!! I am in the planning stages of becoming a re fashioner, solely inspired by you.http://pinterest.com/pin/102175485266562856/ This style looks like something I may be able to use later in a refashion. What do you think?
What a gift you have! I went to a thrift store today trying to find a shirt this big and no luck. I didn’t have enough time but a lot of things that I saw I was just thinking about what you would do with it! I just started following you!
