My toddler shirt dress - FINISHED!
Here's my first attempt at turning an otherwise normal (but completely unwearable from a fashion perspective) ladies shirt into a toddler dress for my niece. I picked up the shirt from Goodwill for about $4. The beach scene seemed like it would be perfect on a little girl I know who actually lives right on the Bay!
Here's the finished dress! It took me about 4 hours because I changed my mind on the sleeves halfway through and basically unpicked the entire dress and started over. haha. I always find a way to turn a simple project into something difficult! :)
I opted not to do the waistband since it was already going to be a bit small since I started with a womens shirt which is quite a bit smaller than the mens shirt recommended. But I did keep the original shirt length so I didn't have to redo the hem, which was an added bonus.
and here it is on my adorable niece!
