  Step 1

  Cut shirt across the chest, directly under the armpits.

  (Can you see that stain on the upper right chest? Hubby was sad to lose a shirt, but I was excited to gain material for refashioning.)

• 

  Step 2

  Pleat to fit your waist. I created two pleats on each front panel....

• 

  Step 3

  and six across the back.

  (1" pleats, spaced 2" apart).

• 

  Step 4

  Run a basting stitch across the top edge to hold the pleats in place.

• 

  Step 5

  If you need to take out excess fabric from the waist but don't want to go crazy with the pleats, take a bit from each side by pinning and stitching. This can also help take some poof out of the hip area.

• 

  Step 6

  Double turn top edge under and stitch again.

• 

  Step 7

  Add a snap as needed to keep the top of the placket closed.

• 

  Step 8

  And voila! As you can see, the buttons only extended so far down the shirt placket, so I stitched the bottom a little more closed.
