Quick upcycling, woman's shirt to toddler dress/tunic

Sometimes you have clothes that you can not really part with. About ten years ago I bought a shirt and it still was in my closet, although I really didn't fit in it anymore. Somewhere during my pregnancies my torso seems to have grown (or could it be related to the fact that my belly got modernised and went from 2D to 3D).

Now that the weather clearly demands long sleeves and that my middle daughter's closet (fortunately) doesn't harbour many hand made long sleeved item that she still fits, I did a quick refashion. As you know, I choose to be lazy if possible, so I took my recently drawn Billie pattern and used it to draw a dress. The bottom hem and width gave me clear boundary conditions. If the garment is really a dress or rather a tunic is up for debate, but in winter, when kids are wearing leggings I think it doesn't really matter.

As I mentioned here, I am in the process of making the "perfect"pair of leggings for my middle daughter. She has a very sensitive skin and I experienced that tights make her legs very itchy. My stash contains many hidden treasures and this super soft Birch is one of them. I bought it with the intention of some baby gift sewing, but when it coincidentally ended up next to the brown dress, I saw a match made in heaven. I can not explain exactly why, but the combination makes me very happy. I presume it is because of the green/brown/yellow combo in both garments.

This pair of leggings is actually the second pair, based on the La Maison Victor child leggings (I write "based" because I changed a lot of the characteristics based on some well fitting leggings from my daughter's closet). The first version didn't make it to the blog yet, because I couldn't pair it with anything. I originally sewed this dress to accompany the first pair of legging, but that combination looked more like a match from hell. What had I been thinking? Thank god fabric stashes!

I love to hear what you think of my creations. Feel free to leave a comment in the language you prefer (although Google translate might have to assist me if you choose something different than English, German, Dutch or Hungarian).
