Dress from men's shirt

The old men's shirt is gathering dust in the closet, so what to do with it? It's a pity to throw it away, because it is usually made of thick, high-quality fabric or soft and pleasant cotton. But you can give her a second life! How to do it in the most competent way is the main question that a good hostess asks. There are several ways to remake a shirt in a dress.

In order to make an elegant summer dress out of an old men's cotton shirt, we need it: the shirt itself, preferably cotton, but any thin “summer” material will suit, a wide elastic band to match the future dress, and, of course, neck accessories.

First of all, you need to expand the shirt on a flat surface and draw a small line from the left to the right shoulder. Along this line you need to carefully cut off the top of the shirt. Then you need to bend the upper sections of the shirt, securing them with pins. And already after stitch on the bottom edge, thereby creating a drawstring. In the drawstring stretch gum, for convenience, you can use a knitting needle or a Chinese stick. The ends of the gum need to sew.

This dress can be worn with a wide belt and summer boots in country style.

We will need: men's shirt of large size, respectively, sewing supplies. We put the shirt on a flat surface and outline with 3/4 sleeves with a chalk, cut off the collar, as shown in the photo. All places cuts bend and gently stitched. Along the edges you can attach a bright edging.

This short and elegant dress can be worn with leggings and ballet flats. Its free cut allows you to hide figure flaws and give the silhouette lightness and lightness.The result: a stylish and elegant dress in a few minutes with your own hands.

For example, if you want to make an application in the form of a large bright flower. You will need: a piece of cardboard, fabric from which it is planned to make an application, threads to match the color of the future application.

The manufacturing process is quite simple. Draw a large flower on a cardboard or any type of application you like. Then cut it out, attach it to the cloth and circle with chalk. Cut out the future application, leaving 5-7 millimeters to bend, gently bend the left edges and iron them. Put the finished appliqué on the spot and sew it using invisible hand stitch or machine zigzag.

For this dress you need to choose a shirt of bright colors, a shirt in a large cage. The material can be dense or light, depending on the season in which it is planned to wear the dress.

Baby dress is very easy to make! All you need is any children's dress, as a model, sewing supplies and, again, an old men's shirt. Put the baby dress on the shirt, circle around the chalk and cut out, having about 2-5 centimeters in stock. After that, you need to sew gum and stitch the bottom already on the finished dress shirt. The finished dress can be added to any details for your taste - with bright applications, ribbons, bows - in general, everything that is in your sewing box.
