Hello Readers. Not every project works out well. Mistakes are made. Disasters happen. C'est la vie! I tried to make this men's shirt into a dress and messed up. I mis-measured and it was a bit shorter than I wanted.
Before and after.
I started marking out where to cut the skirt and the bodice from this men's shirt. I measured the skirt correctly. Now that I can look back, I measured the bodice wrong and did not noticed.
How did I not notice how short the top was? This is crazy.
I used my serger on all the cut edges. I thought it was all OK so far.
I turned the edges under and stitched them down. And I was about to see my mistake.
I thought I would use this gray ribbon as a waistband. It could have been great.
I put it on my dress form and it didn't fit at all. I made this dress form to match my measurements and if it doesn't fit the dress form, it's not going to fit me. The bodice is way too short. It needs another 4-6 inches.
This is not comfortable, it is too tight, it is too short... The top is not long enough. I really messed it up. Sometimes that happens. Oh, well. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself. And measure carefully!
