…that didn’t get worn. I know what you’re thinking, it wasn’t finished, but it was. I used the button shirt to toddler dress tutorial from craftster. BTW, it was really easy to do and it really made a cute dress. I had bought the perfect shirt (from the Goodwill), so cute with pink and blue plaid, and it was going to be great. I made my dress and ended up adding elastic to the top front to make it fit a little better, but other than that everything fit perfect and it was really quick to make.
The reason she didn’t wear it was that I didn’t like how the colors looked on her. I know, that seems a little silly, but I really am picky about what the kids wear. It’s okay, but it would have been a lot cuter on her if it was a brighter color or had a bolder pattern. It might even look better this summer after we’ve had a little sun. I thought about dying it, but I sewed it with polyester thread, so that would stay white, and I wasn’t sure what color to use anyway. I’m still thinking about solutions. I really like the style of the dress, the little ruffle straps are my favorite. I would also look great with a petticoat under it.
I do recommend the tutorial, it was very easy and the results were great, just make sure to pick the right shirt!

It turned out really cute! I have had that tutorial bookmarked for months now and even have a cute shirt set aside for it but I never get around to it. Partly because I don't have any little girls of my own to sew for, but I love giving things away to my friends' daughters. :o) What size men's shirt did you start with?
April, the shirt was an extra large there was a lot of fabric left over, Little Miss wears a size 3. I think as long as it is an adult sized shirt you're good.
