PW2 {restyle} grandpa night shirt > dress

hello spring dress, welcome to your new life~~

i know you won't miss your life as a grandpa's night shirt~~

(at least, one would expect not...!)

here's how i thrift for restyles:

my first rule of restyling:

{see the potential}

this night shirt was great quality, well constructed, cute pattern and i really liked the neckline. the fact that it is a mens night wear is irrelevant.

my second rule of restyling:

{be inspired}

a LOT of items have potential, but can you visualise exactly what you will do to it? are you bursting to get home and try it?

if not, then chances are it will join the pile of 'Restyles To-Do' (and never get done!)

{this outfit kinda cracks me up - today was so beautiful that it seems like i couldn't decide if it was winter (bottom half) or summer (top half!!) ha}

details:: this was dead easy - i cut off the sleeves and zoomed up the side seams on an angle to where i wanted my arm holes to be (the lines from the checks made it really easy to keep things even!). i changed the buttons and used a sleeve for a feature pocket on the front (using the sleeve cuff across the top, saving even more time *wink*)

feel free to link up some restyles in the comments, i'd love to see.
