When I found this amazing overall dress video tutorial by Jess Dang, on YouTube, I really wanted to make one of these for my daughter. The overall dress is what we used to call a jumper and is perfect for school. The greatest thing about this overall dress is that it is like jeans, you don’t have to wash it every time you wear it, and the overall dress can go with any shirt and tights underneath. The large size really makes this dress super comfortable as well. I went to the local thrift store to find some shirts to make a few of these overall dresses out of and I found so many that were going to work out perfectly. I found three men’s shirts total, in denim, one in corduroy, and one in a super durable canvass material.

Materials For Overall Dress:

  • A men’s shirt (from the thrift store, or you may have one around the house)
  • A pair of scissors
  • A rotary cutter
  • A cutting mat
  • A ruler
  • A tape measure
  • A sewing machine
  • Tailor’s chalk (or a fabric marker)
  • Thread
