Shirt to Dress in Minutes
Posted by

This is an old shirt of mine that I have outgrown and decided I was tired of hanging onto it. I could wear it prior to getting pregnant with Monster, but now I thought it was ridiculous to hang onto it any longer. I didn't really like the way it fit before, because it made me look pregnant. The last thing I want is to look pregnant when I am NOT.
I decided to give this baby a little face lift by adding some color and turning it into a dress for The Princess and the Pea.
All I did was cut some squares from some fabric remnants I had and sewed them on. I left them with a tattered edge and went with a jagged stitch to give it a shabby chic look. It will look so cute with some simple flip flops and a cute hair bow to match.
You can't see them here, but there are straps on it as well; they are the same light gray color. I haven't decided if I am going to go with those straps or completely remove them and create something funky for it.
It took me all of 5 minutes to complete this and the girls {love} it!
