T-Shirt Dress

So, if you have girl children, you may have been frustrated more than once by how difficult it is to find decent clothing for them. I don't think I am asking much - we mostly wear dresses or skirts, and we like them at least knee-length, and not "strappy," like many sundresses are. The smart solution to this is to make your own clothes. But some friends of mine directed me towards the lazy way, which my model Arianna and I will now share with you:

It's a t-shirt dress! THIS lovely blogger explains better than I could how to make one by adding a little extra fabric to a t-shirt to make the skirt of a dress, but I was even lazier than THAT - I took an old skirt of mine, sewed it to the bottom of dd's shirt, and Viola! A dress, where there was none before! And I guess she likes it, because she wore it all day. It's a little longer than she wanted, but I told her hey, you ain't gettin any shorter, kid

I love it!
I need to try that one of these days! My dd would not mind the length. I recently made her a dress and she was sad when I put the hem on and it was *only* down to her feet, as opposed to dragging on the floor! LOL :)

You did it!!!!!!!

I am so proud of you and I'm thinking if you could do it, then maybe, just maybe I could pull it off, too.
I must get over my fear of the sewing machine.

It looks so cute, btw. And she is a perfect model.
