Okra works but the design made me think of wagon wheel pasta and lasagna noodles. I like red buttons so much better, the wooden ones are ok, but the red is cool much better. I think just removing the elastic and not replacing it would work too. It's a pretty dress.
I have done that with T-shirts I just haven’t worn much. But I used woven fabric for the skirt and shorten sleeves on the ones that needed them shortened, even lowered neckline on some. I don’t like the neckband to close or tight around my throat. I have made 10 dresses that way. I have done gathered, soft box pleat and soft knife pleat skirts for the shirt I used.
Thank you so much Thuy, I really really enjoyed watching you transform this man’s boring shirt, into this very very pretty and beautiful top, which is nothing like the old garment, it’s stunning 🤩. I absolutely love ❤❤❤❤ it. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤
I wasn’t sure about changing the buttons but you were right the red ones look sooooo much better I’m not a fan of ruffles but the dress looked good on you
