Men's dress shirts to Steampunk-inspired skirt!

This is my favorite piece and I am not even 100% done with it! I wanted to put it up for Men's Dress Shirt Week, but I have a lot of embellishing left to do. This is just the bare bones of the skirt but I have only used men's dress shirts so far so I felt it was the perfect ending to this week.



Just a few of the details:


I added grommets to the back so the closure will lacing like this.




I also did a lot of tucking and gathering to give off the layered/bustled look.


I am going to add a lot more by way of embellishing but the base was made from three men's dress shirts (one is the green/white stripe and then I used two plain white ones.
