Not your average grandpa's button up

[jiliandee]

So given the economy in these days I decided to take up re-cons :)

This is the first adult clothes (I started off with making baby tee's for me and my sisters company Modern Baby (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=82259&id=508261911#/pages/Hudsonville-MI/Modern-Baby/92283421158)) re-con that I made. Unfortunately I can't wear it because I'm 7 months preggo, but that can't stop me from making things :)

Here is the dress:

I moved the original pocket down^^^ it still has the Levis tag on it but the fabric covered it up

Hi! Welcome to ThreadBanger!

Awww, I love it! I've seen button-down recons before, but I REALLY like how you re-thought the collar. That is utterly and completely adorable.

Welcome to ThreadBanger! This is such an awesome reconstruction. I always find myself at a bit of a loss when it comes to making things from button-downs, but this is really innovative and cute. Congrats on your baby, & (eventually!) it would be lovely to see this adorable creation modeled! :)

[Amie]

absolutely adorable!

I saw something like that in ross that was very similar. Plaid is way in for the summer, and it makes me want to go through the garage and take all my step father's clothes that he doesn't wear anymore.

I bet it would look super cute on whoever wears it.

that's awesome!! i saw some dresses like that at a cool indie store in my little city made a little differently, but same kinda concept and i always thought that i should do it! i was thinking what a nice summer dress it would be because the fabric would be all light and worn in and comfy!! i like how you made the little collar thing on the top, very pretty!!

[edgyveggie]

major cuteness!

no tutorial? =(

i have a huge plaid men's shirt sitting in my closet. i'm trying to think of what to do with it. this dress is the perfect recon!

That is REALLY CUTE! I love it! It inspires me to do something similar, not sure what yet though. It looks amazing. I wish I had one just like it.
