I love peasant shirts. Do you remember this peasant shirt that I made with a gold chain? Something about them are so feminine and beautiful. So I’m pretty excited for today’s shirt, a peasant bow-tie shirt refashion! Like the other shirt, I made this one from a dress because I can take advantage of the length. The bow is made from a satin ribbon.

Peasant Bow-Tie Shirt Refashion From a Dress
Contents
Materials Needed:
- A printed dress – try the Bell Sleeve Floral Print Dress
- 2” Satin Reversible Ribbon Black/White
The Before:
A dress that I picked up at the Salvation Army. 🙂
Using a t-shirt, mark the top of the shirt and where the arm pit ends, as shown in the picture.
Adding an 1 1/2″ to the top, make a straight cut across.
Take out the side seams to the bottom mark (the bottom of the arm pit).
Hem up the sides, and around the bottom of the arm pit.
On each side (what would be the front and the back of the shirt), fold over and pin 1 1/2″.
Sew at the bottom. You don’t’ have to be too straight here, but also don’t go all wild.
Cut the satin ribbon about twice the width of the top, in two pieces (so each piece is about twice the width of the top).
Attach a safety pin to one end.
And fish through each side.
The Final:
And here is a closeup of the bow 🙂
I love it!!

Skinny black pencil pants
