Button front recycled oxford shirt skirt. This was really fun to make! and it didn't take long, especially for a beginner. In the end I had a hard time deciding whether to hem it or not. I liked the length and the soft edge but weaves don't fray real gracefully... I decided to hem it... but I included an image of how it looked before I did.

good idea and fair result! I would have removed the pleats at center back though.
Very nice! It looks terrific on you, and I'm glad you hemmed it. I just might make one now, too!
I'll have to ask my husband to give up one of his shirts! I like the pleats in the back I think there's something so sexy about a girl is wearing a men's shirt You are very photogenic!
This is so clever! What a great idea. I love the sides especially and i reckon the pleat on the back is quirky. Great job!
Hi, I just got through attempting to create one of these skirts. How did you decide what angle to sew the skirt together? Did you look at another skirt or pattern? Mine didn't turn out quite as nice. Too poofy in the back, and the buttons from the sleeves ended up in the back instead of on the sides. Where is your seam from the sleeve part to the front part? Thanks for you help!!
Unique, and very comfy too I'd bet! I'm wondering if I look carefully enough at yours if i'll be able to fashion one of my own. I hope my waist isn't too big for the collar/cuffs waistband it looks like you've made. Thanks for posting this, you've inspired me!
