DIY - Shirt Dress

Shirt dresses are so easy to wear - with a pair of shorts and suede wedges. I have made quite a few in my time, I usually make them out of thrifted oversized mens silk shirts. Its important to make sure that the shirt has a nice rounded hem line so the bottom of your dress looks nice - like the hem in this picture. What I usually do is cut off the sleeves to the shoulders, and then take the dress in at the sides to make smaller armholes and a more flattering dress. Throw on with a skinny vintage belt for shape and away you go!
