  Step 1

  Get a button-down shirt that is large enough to encircle your under-bust where that red line is.
  (unless you want it shorter and cut it down farther).

• 

  Step 2

  Cut off the sleeves at the seam.
  (Save for a later step!)

• 

  Step 3

  Now cut off the collar (front and back) a little above the first button.

• 

  Step 4

  Next turn the main piece inside out and try it on.
  You will want to pin the sleeve holes so that it fits your hips and isn't lumpy, then sew a straight stitch!
  (mostly just fit it to your body and sew it up)

• 

  Step 5

  Turn inside out and this is what it should look like!

• 

  Step 6

  Take each of your sleeves and cut off the cuff and at the bottom seam ( black line)

• 

  Step 7

  Use the sleeves and your lining fabric to make the top.

  Then sew it on to the bottom of the dress. I suggest also topstitching over the bottom part because of the fabric.

  Step 8

  Wait for a sunny day or vacation and wear it!
