Cut the fabric
To get started on this gorgeous sweater dress, I started by cutting out the back of the dress but I left the hood on because it's a super-cute element of this sweater.

Next, I cut the front off of a white button-down shirt. I would be using the back of the shirt as the back on my new, cute dress.

Mark the shirt
Using the sweater as a pattern, I marked the shirt so that I would know exactly where I would need to cut it so that it would fit perfectly as the back of the dress.

It’s a tad too short.
You can wear it with leggings, skinny jeans, or shorts, and layer it under a blazer or suit for a look that is pretty and sophisticated. I’ll shoot a How to Style video later. ;)
Looks great and easy to make!
It does! Hope it inspired you to make your own version.
