I love how you fitted this! So clever!
Thanks Marty,
Since the buttons go up the back now, I just have to make sure someone is around to help me get in and out of the dress.
Beth
Another ingenius refashion
How I look forward to your new blog posts; keep ‘em coming!
Thanks, Mother Deer!
I can’t seem to stop refashioning. There are just not enough hours in the day to refashion all I have planned.
Beth
It is great. I think the shirt choice makes a difference too – having the print around the bottom just makes it. http://www.madewithmytwohands.blogspot.com
Thanks, Karen!
you inspire me to re-work clothes I have but don’t like as they are!
Thank you, Alice!
I hope you try this. But just a word of warning: It’s habit forming!!!
Beth
Adorable! You are a creative genius. Seriously.
What a nice thing to say Heather. Thanks!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh. The buttons. I was trying to figure out if you put a zipper in or what.
I really should have mentioned that I just kept the buttons, but it now buttons down the back.
Your creativity is quite amazing Beth…I think you found your niche!
Thank you!
I want it!
If this is my sister, Jan, it would be too big for your little body.
I love this one!
Such a cute dress and there must be millions of shirts at thrift shops that could be converted to something as beautiful.
Excellent work
Cheers,
Laura
Thanks, Laura! For some reason, there are always men’s Hawaiian shirts at our thrift store. Go figure!!!??!!
Beth
LOL!
Imagine that?!
That’s so pretty. Really like the way you added shape!
Thanks! It needed some length, so a waistband seemed the perfect solution.
Beth
You gave me an idea lady
Thank you so much!
Oh, I can’t wait to see it!!!!
I love that you put a middle piece in this one. Very cute!
Thank you! I added the middle piece to get some length. Can’t rock those short skirts anymore. Oh wait a minute… I never did.
Beth
You are a magician…Poof, it’s a dress. I’m always amazed
Thanks, this one was so much trial and error, it did take a little longer than it looks.

You ar so sweet1

You are so welcome!
Beth
Magic!! Another super remake
Thanks so much! It was fun to do.
WOW that’s fantastic!
Thank you, Joen!
Superb! What an inspired remake. I would never be able to tell it started out as a shirt. I am going to be on the lookout for big men’s shirts now.
I hope you try this. Send me pictures, I’d love to see your version!
Beth
You look adorable!!!
You’re so sweet, Alice! Thanks!
Beth
This is such a great idea. I never thought of using the sleeves that way. It works. Beautiful as usual.
Thanks, Brenda!
It looks fabulous! Well done, you’ve done such a great job with it.
Thanks so much! That shirt was in my refash stash for quite awhile before it jumped out and told me it wanted to be a dress.
Beth
Great transformation!
Thanks so much!
I love it! Not only does it fit well but it’s really flattering on you as well. You look lovely
Thank you, Camilla!
Beth
So cute! I am definitely going to try this one! Love!
Oh, I hope you do! I’d love to see it when you finish! I’ll post it on the “Your Projects” page with a link back to your site if you’d like.
Beth
That would be great! I will definitely send it your way. You are awesome.
