It was hard for me to believe, but after I finished making dress one, I realized the only other dress shirt I had in my donation pile was this women's shirt that my mother no longer wore. She had offered it to me a while ago but when I tried it on there was just something a bit too dated about it for my taste (and hers, too).
The upside to the shirt, however, was the textured design on the front and the flap of material down one side of the front opening that was concealing the buttons (the 'fly front' to be exact). Since this dress was made from a women's size small, I used the existing hem at the bottom of the shirt as the bottom hem of the dress.
The design is very simple, but I think it articulates the best qualities of the shirt.
