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.

I love it
I 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.
I think this is absolutely adorable! But where’s the pattern? I love it!
There’s not a pattern at the site, but you can use any raglan-sleeved dress or shirt pattern to make this dress.
Oh my gosh that is way too cool!
what a great idea im glad to see that im not the only one that uses husbands old shirts to make dresses for my daughter.
Where is the pattern? I love this dress for a little girl want to make it but need instructions….thanks !
love it i just would like to know how to cut the sleeved ans sew it together … thanks
This is a great idea. I too would like to get guidance on making and fitting sleeves.
Thank you.

this is adorable, i would like more information on the steps to began the project…thanks
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the little dress! So glad I seen that show before I took all my husbands shirts to our thrift store in Bridgeton, NJ. Of course I’ll only use the nicer ones for my grandaughter! THANK YOU SO MUCH, Your Biggest Fan for many many years,Lillie DeWitt
What a wonderful way to reuse Grandpops old (nicer) shirts. Can’t wait to get started!
Yours is the best dress shirt dress I’ve seen.
Do you also have a pattern to cover a diaper?
hi, 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
