Make a Dress from a Button-Down Shirt

Step 2 The Structure of the Dress

Here's how it works: the collar goes across your chest, the sleeves wrap around to your back, and the buttons now button up your back.

If you're lazy or desperately need a dress in the next 5 minutes, you can tie the sleeves behind your back and you're finished. However, I recommend cutting the sleeves short and securing them with buttons instead.

You can choose to leave the collar sticking out, like in the first picture, or you can cut it off. It's a matter of how the shirt fits, and personal preference.

Maybe you could cut the arms each into a thin strip. Then you could tie the arms into a bow in the back. I plan on testing it out soon.
