Tutorial: Men’s shirt made into a little girl’s dress

Delia from Delia Creates shows how she made this little girl’s dress out of a man’s button up shirt. I’m loving those cap sleeves using the cuffs of the shirt! The buttons up the front of the shirt make a pretty detail for the skirt of the dress. She made hers from a thrifted shirt, but you could also use one of daddy’s shirts to make it extra special. Her tutorial is part of the Sundressing series at Melly Sews.
