Re-purposed Dress Shirts

I love being crafty and thrifty all at the same time!  Our local thrift store was having a 75% off sale on long sleeve (winter) shirts.  I kept the boys out from under the clothes racks enlisted the boys to help me find some girly colored button shirts to convert into summer dresses for Danica.  The were both very excited so see me put a shirt that they each picked out into the cart. Total - $2.68 for 4 shirts.

Let me say, I am, by no means a great seamstress.  I know enough to get me by and that is about it.  Hopefully these dress make it through the first washing, hehe.

I am also not a professional photographer so the lighting, angle, and focus of these pictures leaves much to be desired. You get the idea though.
