Business Casual turns Toddler Chic

From this:

To this:

Now, that’s what I call upcycling. Traci, of Amazing Mae, restyled one of her husband’s old 90′s business shirts into a an adorable peasant dress for her daughter. But, her talents certainly don’t stop there, I’m sure you’ll be seeing much more of Traci’s crafts featured here at KSW ~ especially as we prepare our Spring/Easter Craft round-up ~ but Hey ~ don’t wait for us, head on over to Amazing Mae now and tell Traci we said Hello.

Note: Dress based on Simplicity Pattern 5695
