Transforming a man's shirt into children's clothing

The men's shirt is in the spotlight, and if you're not planning to recycle it to make yourself a new dress, you might just want to treat your mini!" And yes, upcycling also concerns our toddlers. Because there's no age for advocating responsible fashion, make your child the first ambassador of your creativity.

When Daddy's shirt becomes softer than Doudou's

Ladies first!

There are so many cute things to imagine from your man's shirt. Dresses with Shoulder pads, with little bows, frills, ... _VF carte blanche to your little girl! With the help of one of our Tillists, she'll be Princess for a day and will undoubtedly become the sweetest stylist we know. Together, we could dream up the dress of her dreams.And if, on top of that, it's made from Daddy's shirt, your mini will be delighted to have the sweetest gift on her person.

With the leftover fabric, we'll even add a pretty headband to her hair and who knows, maybe there'll even be enough to make a pretty dress for her favourite doll!

A little waistcoat that looks like a big man!

It's not just girls who have the right to be trendy.
Our boys have style too!

And what little angel hasn't dreamt one day of being just like his dad? The sleeveless waistcoat is a bold idea. French-style or English-style, who cares! Your toddler will be transformed into a chic little man.

Thick cotton and a neutral colour are preferred although, at his age, you can well afford to wear anything! There's no limit to what you can wear, and make your little one happy!

Turn your man's shirt into a jumpsuit for your youngest!

Here's an idea for dressing your baby, preferably from six months, so you and he can enjoy it a little.

Don't be afraid of the colour or material of the shirt you have available, it will have its place in your little one's dressing room at some point during the year. For example, you could reserve jeans for winter and cotton for summer.

What about that kitsch shirt full of butterflies that you hate so much on your loved one? Wouldn't it be wonderful in a mini version?
The plus?
These overalls will look just as good on girls as boys!

And because we love their clothes to be unique and personalised,
Tilli even offers an embroidery service! With one of our Tillists, you can imagine an illustration or your baby's pretty first name embroidered on the chest.
