These dresses are so much fun to make! I've had a really hard time not spending every waking minute making fun things like these for my girls. Needless to say they are very addicting!
I made this one from a womens 1X size shirt. I couldn't pass up the fun bright colors.
I made the exact same style for my other little girl out of a mens shirt. You can't tell in the picture, but there are small blue and purple pin stripes mingled with the green.
After I made the first two dresses I started to play around with the pattern and ended up adding some things on my own.
On the dress above I decided it needed some fun little sleeves. In fact I almost didn't bother putting the band around the waist. It looked so cute without it.
I decided to keep this one really simple. I didn't want to take away from the pattern and amazing colors of this shirt. I simply shortened the sleeves and added a band to cinch at the waist. This is one of my favs!
However, this next one is by far my favorite.
I love the design of this dress and the way it looks on my baby.
I also wanted to keep this one simple, so instead of adding a band with a different color for the waist, I stuck with some of the original shirt fabric. And instead of making it with three straps I decided to have the band be a single tie. Then I added some simple white bands on the sleeves to accentuate the tie at the waist. I love this dress so much!
This time around I just wanted a cute little shirt with some fun ruffle sleeves and a small ruffle at the bottom. This one is so cute on!
This was my attempt at a little baby doll tank top. I think it turned out alright, considering I had to tweak the pattern several times. This was also made out of a womens L size shirt. I was even lucky enough to find two of the exact same shirt at the same thrift store, so I made two of these for each of my girls. I'm planning on making some ruffled white skirts so they can wear these to church.
Cute! Love them all!
