Here is a simple little tee shirt dress I made last week. The striped fabric is from JoAnn's and the solid blue is some leftover men's tee shirt fabric I bought to make something for a nephew. The color match is pure serendipity. I used my TNT tee shirt pattern and flared out below the hips. I could have flared out a bit higher, though, because I feel like my hips and rear end are on display a bit in this dress.
These photos were taken after a long, comfortable day of wear, and the dress definitely grew throughout the day. That was mostly a good thing since I felt a bit self-conscious about the form-fittedness in the morning. It also grew lengthwise, though, and I'm thinking a new hem is in order. What started above my knees is now below my knees. What do you think about the length?
I didn't think to take a good photo of the shoulders, They lap over in a wide boatneck. I was planning to put a couple of buttons on them, but I couldn't find a good set in my notions drawer, so I left them open, and I didn't have any trouble during the day with the shoulders.
I tried to match up all of the little stripes on the side seam, but I am proud to say I didn't stress when a couple were a bit off. I have the same striped knit in hot pink, and I'm planning another dress, but maybe a tank style to switch things up. This dres is super comfortable. It's like wearing a nightgown around all day.
