How to make a dress from a men's shirt with your own hands?

If you do not have a new dress, tunic, sundress for everyday life or for going out, but for some reason there is a man’s shirt that has been stale for some reason in the closet, then a new thing is provided for you.

Of course, you can convert a shirt into a dress by simply tying it in a simple way, but we want to share with you several options for sewing such an outfit.

What could be sexier than a short summer dress? Only long sleeved dress. At the same time, a shirt cut will add audacity.

To create this outfit you will need:

• men's shirt;
• wide elastic;
• sewing supplies.

1. From the left to the right shoulder, draw a line and cut the top of the shirt along it.
2. Bend the upper sections, securing with pins or thread with a needle, and then sew along the lower edge, creating a drawstring.
3. Pull the elastic into the drawstring. For greater convenience, you can use Chinese chopsticks.
4. Sew the ends of the elastic.

If you fit the shirt and feel sorry for cutting it, then use the following option.

There is another way to correct a man’s shirt for a girl’s dress without major changes.

Take a shirt and cut off sleeves and top along the line below the collar. Then bend the armholes, as well as the upper cut, forming a drawstring.

It remains to make ties from the remaining sleeves. Cut long strips of the desired width. Fold in half and sew, and then stretch into the wings. However, the material for the ties can serve as ribbons and unnecessary ties.

Combining materials, you can sew a stylish dress.

• You will need a T-shirt or T-shirt and shirt.From the last, just above the beginning of the armhole, cut off the upper part by carefully cutting the sleeves.
• Bend the armhole.
• At the shirt also cut off the top.
• Connect both parts. If the shirt is too wide, pick it up with a thread so that the side seams of the shirt and shirt match.

Also, knitwear can be replaced with lace.

For those who do not wear short dresses, there is a proposal to sew a sundress with a detachable bodice.

• Cut off the sleeves from the shirt.
• On the front shelves, draw lines from the armhole to the collar, as in the figure, and cut the fabric along them.
• Cut off the collar.
• From the sleeves we form a bodice. Attach them to the shirt with a curved edge in the middle.
• Using a thread, pick up the edge and form a cup.
• Level the back.
• Make Brittany and sew to the cups.

The second version of the sundress on the straps may look like this.

You can go the hard way and sew the original dress using the principle of patchwork.

The more shirts you find, the longer and more magnificent the dress will be. Also pick the same in drawing and tonality.

In this embodiment, 9 pieces are involved.

• Choose a shirt with a whole collar and clasp - this will be the basis of the dress.
• Make tucks at the waist, fitting the shirt along the figure.
• Model the armhole with braid if you want a dress without a sleeve.

Model the side parts by attaching them to the mannequin and cutting them out. In doing so, consider seam allowances.

Sew the parts of the top of the dress together. Cut out and sew a hem for the armhole, attaching the finished top to one of the shirts.

We turn to the dress skirt. She emerges from the shelves of shirts with wedges. The neck can serve as a narrow part, and the bottom - a wide one. Trims with clasps will serve as cuts.

As a basis for the pattern, you can take a six-link skirt. Total wedges need approximately 10 pieces. Their number depends on the volume of the waist and the width of the top of the wedges.

Sew the cut wedges and make frills from the remaining shreds and shirts.

Also make a belt out of placket with buttons.

We hope that the selection of simple options for tailoring a dress from a men's shirt will be the inspiration for creating your own unique outfit.
