Shirt Dress
  

Shirt Dress



I made a dress for Talia out of a man's plaid shirt that I found at the dollar store! I am so proud of myself! :)

Here's the Price:



(so with the trim, I made the dress for less than $4)

And Here's the "After":


I have not sewn an article of clothing since the pair of shorts I made myself in highschool Home Ec. Class! So, I'm kind of thrilled that I pulled this off. I didn't have a lot of confidence in it turning out in the beginning- there was a lot of debate over whether it would end up good enough to be a dress or whether it would be a nightgown.

So, you want to make one? Here's the tutorial I followed from craftster.org

Oh, and by the way, I'm going to be guest blogging over at Or So She Says tomorrow! This is my first guest post & I was really excited to be invited to post there! (Somebody out there in the blogging world has noticed me- yippee! ;)
