I think it's fantastic the way it is. I might be stealing this idea with one of my old work shirts for Emily. :) If you really want to make it longer, maybe a 2-3 inch navy panel on the bottom or an off white eyelet trim?
This came out great! I have a similar shirt I want to do something with! I might have to try something like this! I especially like your idea of shirring on the sides. I would love for you to come link up to my Sew Crafty Party !
Great job! The shirring helps to give it a more feminin shape!! Great job! Thanks for linking up to Making It With Allie! I can't wait to see what you have for next week! AllieMakes.Blogspot.com
I love this! If it were me I would do a tunic length, but then I never wear dresses and I always wear jeans... I think it looks great like that with the jeans. I am giving this a try but bit off more than I can chew (trying to re-do the neckline, sleeves, etc.) and now I have a pile of scraps. I'm going to try again exactly like this. :)
I'm going to try 2 at a time with shirts that coordinate. That way I can use the sleeves of one as the midriff on the other... Thanks! I'm ready to sew!
I love this! What a great idea, and it turned out so feminine. I don't like it as much as a tunic (if you want my opinion). I think it looks good as is with something under it, or you could lengthen it. I'm amazed at your skills!
You are awesome! This is great! I would keep it as is and just wear some leggings or something under it - because well I am tall! :) Thanks for sharing this at fantastic Friday. I hope that you will join us again this week!
Looks beautiful! I cant wait to try this! I do sew...but I dont know what shirring is...is it like lots of gathers? Thanks for linking up to my party. Crystal
It's Adorable Emily!! Just awesome. I like the pattern you have created and it really rocks. Especially the navy cut belt type pattern. Good Job & keep going*. Your idea of refashioning the dress shirts is superb.

ReplyDeletewhat a pretty idea! may i ask where you got it from? thanks!
ReplyDeleteKeep it at tunic length! Thank you for linking up to Ucycled Awesome at www.thetshirtdiaries.com.
ReplyDeleteI like it as it is, but the idea of a navy panel is good too!!
ReplyDeleteCount me in for leaving it as it is. I wear short dresses with jeans all the time.
ReplyDeleteI love your new dress/tunic. I like it as a dress. I will have to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteWow! This looks amazing. great job!!
ReplyDeleteFor me I'd make it a tunic because I'd want to wear capris or jeans under it. Very, very, very cute and uber creative. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI do frequently look for inspiration from other clothes/designers but this time I just sat down with the shirt and made it up as I went along...
ReplyDeleteWow!! Amazing and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! looks FAB!

ReplyDeleteI’m not a sewer, but this is adorable! Seriously, I’m thinking about requesting it from a family member as a favor swap!

ReplyDeleteMy husband just handed me one of his shirt the other day because of a slight tear near the cuff. I can't wait to try this out!
