Not Sold in Stores

These days it's pretty hard to find a white cotton maxi dress that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. And since I bought my other one from Old Navy for only $20 and it turned out so beautifully (see my first blog) I was itching for another maxi dress. So.. I did what anyone (hehe) would do.
Here is what I started with. Four tshirts. Sizes 4T, Youth XL, Adult L, and Adult XL.
I chopped those suckers up and formed them into what would soon be my maxi dress!
I folded each section separately and dyed them each with a different pattern, but same colors.
My original plans for the straps had changed to beautiful braids that come together to form a racerback :) Here are some sample pictures of what the straps looked like when the dress was finished.
I sewed all of the pieces together.......
Viola! The final product!! It hits the floor right at my ankles and is SO comfortable, it's almost as if I am wearing a tshirt ;)
