1. Cut the side of one shirt and open it up. Use the picture as a guide and cut up 6 peices of 2 1/2" X 12" and 2 peices of 1 1/4" strips.
2. Using big stitches, sew 2 1/2" strips a 1/4" from the edge. Pull one thread to make the ruffles. I made the the top of the ruffles 7" wide.
3. Sew the 1 1/4" strips together and make longer strips. Using big stitches, sew
the middle, pull one string to make ruffles.
4. First, pin the long strips around the neck line. Don't forget to leave the front part for the other ruffles.
5. Then, attach the front ruffles. Make sure that the center of the shirt and center of the ruffle lines up.
6. To add the second row of ruffles, measure 1 1/2" from the edge of the first row of ruffles and line the top of the next row to it. Sew. Repeat the process to complete the shirt.
You can stop here. The shirt look perfectly ok... but I added a corsage. If you want to do so, keep reading...
7. To make the fabric string: cut one 1/2" string and strech it. To make the corsage, cut 1" strips, sew the center with big stitches and make ruffle first.
8. Take the ruffle you made at step 7, and fold it in half.
9. To start sewing the corsage, roll up the end, and start sewing the folded part, and keep spinning and sewing...
10. There, you have a flower...Now, sew them onto your desired place and the only thing left for you to do is enjoy.
