LIGHTBULB! Sewing opportunity!!
I asked if I could use it for fabric and he said sure and gave me 4 more old shirts! SIGH. I love him.So I scoured the internet for some inspiration and came up with my own dress. It's simple, straight and with a belt I thought it was cute. So I wore it all day for Father's Day. My husband thought it was sexy. I'll go with it. :)
If you make one I recommend ironing your seams once they're sewn. I'm not a huge fan of ironing but the more I do it, the happier I am with the results.
Some awesome men's dress shirt to women's dress TUTORIALS:

This is too cute! You did a great job! Classic, yet summertime chic :)
LOVE it!! And the belt adds a lot! Maybe I can convince Chris to go through his closet...well, I better finish all the projects I've got in mind first! ;)
I love to reuse old items from around the house and create something new! The dress looks great on you. I may need to steal one of my hubby's shirts :)
Here is an upcycled shirt project I have done.
I hope you enjoy!

Looks so nice and carefree. So, did you cut off the collar and make a casing for an elastic top? I HAVE to try this one quicklike! Please let enlighten your "blog stalkers."
A dress shirt skirt! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, everybody! Shalea, I will post the how-to for you. I started taking the pictures for a tutorial then thought I had ruined it and stopped taking pictures. But I will post what I have.
