Today’s piece was a rare find! 🙂
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 357? Well, it wasn’t 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.
After a quick press, my new dress was ready for a gorgeous summer day! 🙂
Cheers!
Great makeover! I have to look around on your blog, you have realy great ideas 🙂
sorry for my language, i havent been writing for years 😉 greetings from Poland!
Found your blog on PINTEREST and I must say I am having fun skipping through it. Adorable dress.
I LOVE the minty-ish color. You’re just soooooooo -breath- ooooooooooo talented!
Im a guy and have been looking EVERYWHERE and ANYWHERE for a long collared shirt!! do you know of anywhere online?? I’m going insane and i have a big party on the 9th of june!! any help would be GREAT!!!
You can either A. Get lucky and find one at the thrift store, or B. Go to a Big & Tall store to find some Extra Long Goodness. Not sure where else to find Extra Long Shirts, as they’re sort of a specialty thing.
That’s cute… Girl I can’t see… But I can witchery stitch sm stuff…. Lmao…!
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!
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?
I hope you did it, and are still refashioning!
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!
