Yes, another t-shirt DIY {wherein I steal shirts from my husband}! This little dress is so comfy! Wear it around the house or to the beach with sandals or with leggings and a blazer for fall. You can even add another "skirt" ruffle around the bottom if you have extra material. I love it. It's pretty much a blank slate ...I'll leave it up to you to get creative with it. Thinking about safety pins, gold spray paint, tie-dye or even using the extra jersey to make little flowers and hand-stitching them on. {easily make this for the kiddies too!} Have fun!

I love the simplicity of this little dress, i love simplicity period, because you can add so much to it and get creative with stuff like this, and every time it can be a totally different outfit by adding little details to it. This is also such a versatile piece, love it. :)

Tina said...

so simple and so perfect! love it as well as all that you share with us :)

Angela said...

Meagan, I've wanted to ask you this for a while. What do you do about the see-through-y-ness of plain white t's? I just can't do the "gee, there's her bra" thing. And with many summer dresses, the whole thing is quite sheer. I'll often add a tank or cami underneath, but that takes away from the whole carefree, effortless look it's supposed to invoke. Help!

Ita said...

Awesome! Very creative :)Thanks for sharing your idea.

marb said...

seems so easy and sexy!!iwill try it!!

Carlotta said...

easy & chic!! you can mix 2 different colors too: love it!!

Annie Spandex said...

Kate said...

This is perfect. Thank you! I am picking up my new sewing machine tomorrow and will be making this soon after :) Well, after I get through my "to sew" pile.

P.S. My verification word is "mating" hehe...

diane said...

Jeeze Maegan, it took me forever to catch up on everything I've been missing on your blog. But now I'm feeling fashionable and "in the know" thanks to you! Congratulations on your Vogue feature.

Maegan - Not to be such a kiss-up, but I do swear you could put on a paperbag, cinch it at the waist with your gold stretchy vintage belt, and you'd look fabulous. How are you so cute? Beyond jealous! Rock it like a child in timeout.
