I cut up an old dress that I never wore and used this pattern to make a black linen boxy shirt. The pattern was pretty easy to follow. I appreciate it came with several variants and have plans to make a few of the other options.

Very cute! And it looks great on you! Also, I applaud you for the resourcefulness in making over your dress into something that you’ll get more use out of!

Very nice! Looks much more versatile than a dress! How did you finish the seams? I am guessing the linen frays quite a bit?

I used my overcast stitch on my sewing machine on all raw edges. The bottom portion of the shirt was actually taken from the bottom of the dress and I purposely left the hem intact so I didn’t have to fuss with it.

It looks great, and smart idea to reuse the seam.

Great top! And so cool that you put the lovely material of a dress that didn’t work for you to use.

Made another shirt using the same pattern. This time no bottom ruffle and with a super soft hacci sweater knit. It’s giving me slight 80s vibes.
