  Step 1

  Grab a waaaaaay to big for you shirt

• 

  Step 2

  heck out that amazing paisley…Great Uncle was a stylish dude in the 80′s!

• 

  Step 3

  slice off the sleeves

• 

  Step 4

  snag a shirt with your ideal armhole size & use it as a template to mark & shrink the massive sleeve holes

• 

  Step 5

  stitch down from your mark gently angling towards the side seam until you reach the bottom hem, chop off the excess fabric & repeat on the other side

• 

  Step 6

  decide how long you’d like the sleeves to be & slice ‘em to size

• 

  Step 7

  pop them into your now-shrunk armholes with right sides facing & raw edges lined up

• 

  Step 8

  stitch together

  *if (like me) you don’t have a fancyschmancy serger be sure to zigzag the edges of all of your new inside seams to prevent fraying

• 

  Step 9

  if you’re at all concerned about the possibility of visible undies due to bottom-of-the-shirt-dress-flappage be sure to stitch the open ends of dress together from the last button straight down to the hem

• 

  Step 10

  pop it on and enjoy!
