Shirt dresses are one of the biggest trends of this season. Do you want to know how to make such a model yourself from a too big men’s shirt? We suggest how to do it!
Dress made of men’s shirt emphasizes feminine silhouette and at the same time is perfect for spring and summer. It is lightweight and fits perfectly on every figure – this is what all women love them for. We show you how to turn an unused men’s shirt into a women’s dress with the most fashionable cut, step by step. We can bet you won’t want to wear anything else!
Making this season’s trendiest dress is easier than you think! All you need is a little patience and the right materials. First of all, prepare a large, long-sleeved shirt for men (preferably one without pockets) and the necessary tools for work – scissors, machine, pins, tailor’s tape measure and pencil. Let’s get started!
This is an easy way to make a stylish short sleeve dress. Remember to do each step patiently and with lots of attention – it’s the details, such as evenly done seams, that will determine the final result! Tie yourself with a belt at the waist to emphasize your silhouette. To show off your neckline, remove the last two buttons of the dress. This dress is perfect for warm days, so it is worth having at least one such model in your closet.

The model of the dress you made according to the tutorial above is, of course, only a basic version – you can freely experiment with the form in order to adapt this model even better to yourself. There are really many options. A relatively simple procedure, which gives interesting effects, is changing buttons. Try adding fashionable pearls or golden elements to give the creation a chic look. If you think that the dress is too short, you can easily lengthen it by adding a decorative frill. A great combination is blue and white. Another option is to add embroidery on the shirt – you can use your skills and add your initials or embroider flowers on the dress. The only limit is your imagination and everything depends on the individual preferences of the owner.
Making a shirt dress yourself is a great idea on how to create fashionable clothes from an unnecessary men’s shirt. Oversize cut will hide all shortcomings of your figure, and the belt will emphasize your waistline. By undoing the last few buttons at the neckline, you will emphasize the bust and give your figure an hourglass shape. Definite advantages of this dress are its lightness and airiness, which make it perfect for summer outfits. Pair it with delicate sandals with a small heel in a beige shade or your favorite ballerinas. This way you will break the masculine element of your outfit and give it a feminine, very sexy expression. All you need is a handbag with a gold chain and you’re ready to go! You can also wear the shirt dress on colder days – then pair it with blue jeans with a tapered leg.
