Button Up Dress

See this cute dress:


U Create posted it on her blog. It was made from this not so cute shirt:

See, here are the buttons:

I am sort of in love with this idea! What a great way to make clothes go the extra mile! And in a cute way! And although I am sure it is more difficult than it looks, it does actually look doable!

The idea came from a post by cheytown on the crafster forum. I so didn't need to know about Craftster!

Oh, and this post shows you how to use the sleeves of the shirt to make matching bloomers!!

    Thanks Lori.

  5. I LOVE this! I just called my mom to show her, (she's the seamstress, not me). I see some darling dresses made from clothes in big brother's closets in the near future for my little Princess!
