I love this little dress so much! Amazing Mae made it from an old man’s dress shirt. (The dress shirt was old, not the man! But I digress…) Read more about the project, and see the dress modeled by its recipient.

August 15, 2009 at 2:38 pmI love all of your stuff, but as a beginner at this, I’m afraid I couldn’t do it?
Do you know of any beginner sites to help get me started? If so, please feel free to contact me through my email-mmwilcox306@yahoo.Or ANY advise you have, if that’s okay.
My little girl is 5 and when you go to the store,she ends up wearing the same thing her friends are…she appreciates nice clothes & LOVES dresses; peasant tops,flouncy skirts etc.
Any reciprocation would be GREATLY appreciated. the all caps were not me screaming-just excited for the (Hopeful) info.

February 20, 2010 at 8:00 pmThere’s not a pattern at the site, but you can use any raglan-sleeved dress or shirt pattern to make this dress.

April 9, 2014 at 9:55 amhi, i tried to make this dress but when i got to the sleeve part i got confused, the pattern that you show for it shows 6in. and 10in and then another 6in but then it shows at the bottom of the piece 14in across.so how does 6+10+6 inches equal 14 inches? i don’t sew so im sure it must be something i just don’t understand.could you please explain? thanks corinn
