a dress for the sun, which i'm told does exist

I have these huge men's plaid shirts from the Salvation Army that I bought in a giddy fit on the two preceding Wednesdays (half-off!), and intend to make into summer shirtdresses for myself. Until recently this was kind of a vague plan in my mind. I knew I had enough fabric to go in any number of directions with the neckline and sleeves; possibly I could even add extra fabric to the shirttail for a longer skirt. But I sketched out a rough idea today while training on phones with my coworker, and I'm so pleased with it that I might make all three like so. This (horribly webcammed) sketch is a refined version, with a face that actually kind of looks like mine for extra visualization potential!

There's enough time yet to go alter the other plaid shirt which has Brock's (slightly resigned?) approval, so I think I will go do that.
