Wear it!

Step 5: Wear it!

Basically, you'll wear your old t-shirt upside down. Depending on the size of your shirt, your result could be worn as a top or a dress.The outside pockets make a nice addition, but you can also attach them to the inside of the shirt, for a simpler outfit.

isavendetta, it looks like you added straps, or maybe those are from a bra underneath? Can you elaborate?

isavendetta in reply to susanrmJun 20, 2010. 7:32 PM

oh! actually them are from the bra underneath :P i love to wear it like that because it makes the effect that the straps are from the t-shirt-dress : D even that i think it could be possible to put that kind of bra straps on the dress (yeah some kind of crazy idea but it could work) if you take two little straps of fabric and sew them by hand to the dress (not with the sewing machine because you should sew ones as the ones that bra's have XD) it could work if you want it with them but actually i think it is better for you to look for the strap effect that i made :)

Wonderful idea. Another "add to" suggestion could be instead of running elastic through the bottom seam of the t-shirt you could run a matching ribbon or cord and use that as a drawstring. That way when you wear the shirt you could tie that up around your neck to help hold the shirt up. Just figure I would throw that in. Thanks for sharing. I will have to make one of these very very soon.

Do you buy a boys shirt so it will be long enough? And if you do buy a boys, will it be skinny enough?

@kkelso, usually the larger the shirt, the longer, especially in boys'/men's shirts. if it's not skinny enough, put it on (inside out) and pin along the sides how you'd like it to fit. get somebody to help you take it off if you can, so you can avoid being stuck by the pins or having them slip out (if you use safety pins, this is easier). then stitch a seam along the pins, about 1/4"-3/8" outside the line you've made. trim away the excess & you'll have a custom-fitted top.
