[dress: DIY, shoes: Ash] |
This Double T Shirt dress is a great project for anyone new to sewing. It allows you to create a dress without using a pattern. This dress is constructed using 2 men's T shirts which are sewn together at the neck.
Supplies:
- 2 identical cotton T shirts (I used Hanes white undershirts, size Large. I dyed them blue before making the dress) Men's size large T's will make a XS/S dress. If you wear a larger size, buy larger T shirts)
- 4 ½ length of braided elastic that is ⅜ wide

[Step 1: Cut off the neck band on both T shirts] |

[Step 2: Create the pockets. Sew the arm holes closed on the right side of one of the shirts. Stitch a line approximately ½ inch above the arm bands] |

[Step 4: Turn both shirts inside out and then sew them together at the neck] |

[Here is the sewn on elastic. Make sure you stretch the elastic while sewing it. It creates a nice, gathered look in between the pockets] |

[Final step: Turn the dress right side out, put it on and tuck the pockets in] |

This is a very old tutorial from when I first started blogging. I'm going to make a video tutorial that will explain this much better.
I'm a bit confused on the joining of the two t shirts. If you sew them Neck to Neck this would become the waist of the dress right? what becomes the NECK of the dress?

Hi Lee- Yes, the 2 necks joined together create the waist of the dress. The (cowl) neck of the dress is created with the bottom part of the t-shirt. I know it sounds a little odd, but I promise it works!
