Clear out unwanted items in your wardrobe to make a Spring dress from an old business shirt and maxi dress. Not really as ambitious as it sounds when you throw a little creative wardrobe refashioning in the mix.<\/p>\n

\"Shirt<\/p>\n

I’ve had this business shirt in my wardrobe for years, it still fitted well and the fabric is beautiful quality (and was an expensive purchase) but it was a little too ‘corporate’ for my lifestyle today.<\/p>\n

The maxi dress was a hand me down from my sister, nice fabric, but totally unflattering on. Both were on their way to the donation pile.<\/p>\n

If you are keen to make a similar style dress for yourself and don’t have any suitable garments to refashion, take a visit to your local thrift store and see what you can find.<\/p>\n

You could also use a flowy elastic waisted skirt in place of a maxi dress as an alternative.<\/p>\n
