Tie-Waist, T-shirt Dress: DIY

I am always looking for a cute comfortable dress to wear during the summer months.

Maybe because summer in Florida can be incredibly HOT and  unforgiving.

 Everyone can fine a couple of  t-shirts around the house. 

Why not make them into something cute that  you can wear this summer.

 Inspiration

 Victoria's Secret

 Tutorial 

Things you need.

1. 2 T-shirts *I used a Large and an Extra Large.
2. Scissors
3. Sewing Machine
4. Large Safety Pin
5. Straight pins
6. 4 studs * Hobby Lobby in the leather section.

 First, I measured my top shirt with a dress I already have,
 to where I was going to put the tying part.

Then I marked it.

#1Shirt
 I cut the  at my markings.

#2  shirt, 

I cut right under the arms( this will be the bottom part of my dress)

Put the right sides of both shirts  together.

Pin them with your straight pins.

 Sew about 1 inch above  where they meet.

Then turn the bottom part right side out,

and sew an inch below where you sewed your first line.

This will be the channel where the tie will go through.

Cut a small slit in the center of your channel.

 From the scrap part of the shirt that you have left over,
 cut an inch wide strip.

 Stretch it out to make a rope.

Attach the end of the string to a large safety pin,

 then weave it through the slit all the way around the shirt.

Cut around  the collar to make it off the shoulder style,
or just leave the V neck.
It's your dress, make it however you want.

 I placed a stud on each seam.

I also folded over the sleeve and added a stud just to make the sleeve a little more fitted.

Beach cover up or Summer dress?

You decide.

Enjoy!

Have a Beautiful Day

Lots of <3,
