You could have the sleeves stitched and cut off to make actual pockets. It looks very casual/beachy, perfect for late summer at the shore.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carol-i-tried-the-shirt-skirt-thing#post-2394864 Tue, 02 Sep 2025 15:44:31 +0000 cat2 2394864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great beach gear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carol-i-tried-the-shirt-skirt-thing#post-2394859 Tue, 02 Sep 2025 14:42:53 +0000 Dee 2394859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a creative idea. Smart to tuck in the sleeves and make fake pockets out them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carol-i-tried-the-shirt-skirt-thing#post-2394844 Tue, 02 Sep 2025 12:47:30 +0000 RobinF 2394844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun is that!

Did somebody notice your avantgarde outfit-just wondered about&nbsp; what others thought or reacted?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carol-i-tried-the-shirt-skirt-thing#post-2394831 Tue, 02 Sep 2025 05:21:43 +0000 Star (Lise) 2394831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely having fun with fashion :). Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carol-i-tried-the-shirt-skirt-thing#post-2394824 Tue, 02 Sep 2025 02:51:28 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2394824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so fun and cool looking, L'Abeille. I'm glad you tried it and showed us. Perfect beachy vibe, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carol-i-tried-the-shirt-skirt-thing#post-2394820 Tue, 02 Sep 2025 02:17:15 +0000 Carol 2394820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I think that looks great, and I want one! Love the juxtaposition of pattern/no pattern, and materials. I also love that you had an occasion for this skirt--it really does look matched to a seaside lobster town.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for trying that. I am not sure I have the right shirts to play around with now, but now I am motivated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carol-i-tried-the-shirt-skirt-thing#post-2394814 Tue, 02 Sep 2025 00:38:22 +0000 Jaime 2394814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks fab!

I would kind of like to try it!<br />I feel like the choice of Ralph Lauren shirts is actually very appropriate. He often does very interesting things with patchwork and this seems of a piece (pun intended) with that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carol-i-tried-the-shirt-skirt-thing#post-2394806 Mon, 01 Sep 2025 22:58:24 +0000 L'Abeille 2394806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Earlier this summer Carol posted about a skirt made by buttoning two dress shirts together.<br /> <a href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-subject-of-dress-shirts" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....ess-shirts</a></p> <p>I was intrigued and looked in my closet. I found 2 blue and white striped men's shirts by Ralph Lauren, each gifted by a relative and mostly worn on weekends over a tank top and linen pants or shorts. One was linen, one cotton, and they were different degrees of oversized. But the plackets and buttonhole spacing were identical, so it was easy to button them to each other.</p> <p>All that was needed was the appropriate occasion. Today was it: summer's last hurrah, a day at the shore, spent eating lobster and ice cream and strolling on the beach. Worn with swimsuit, sandals, and a sleeveless shirt as topper.</p> <p>The only puzzle was what to do with sleeves. The sleeves-hanging-out version was too busy, so I turned them to the inside, where they looked a bit like pockets. I tried tying them to each other underneath the skirt, or half-folding the sleeves inside so they didn't show below the hem. For wading in the surf, I tied them up higher to keep the lot dry.</p> <p>I had fun! I may try it again, another summer, if another occasion arises. </p>
