[Nfb-krafters-korner] T-Shirt Dress - WAS: pillow case dress

[Annette Carr]

The skirt of the t-shirt dress was not made of a t-shirt material.  I'd say it was more of a woven  light weight material.  Think pillow case, but lighter weight.

The hem of the t-shirt and the top of the skirt were around the waist, maybe more of a dropped waist.

I've always thought that You could probably use a tank top in stead of a t-shirt.

Do you rememberthe skirt was made out of a cotton knit like the T shirt or was it a woven fabric?  Was the skirt sewn  to the T shirt at the  waist line or more down like aruffle toward the bottom?

When my  daughter was a preschooler, someone gave her a cute little dress that was  made from a colored t-shirt that had a skirt sewn on to the bottom of the  t-shirt.  It look as if all they did was take a long rectangular piece  of material, sewed the short edges together, gathered it up along one long  edge so that it was the circumference of the bottom of the t-shirt and attached it to that edge.  The other long edge of the rectangle  was hemmed to form the bottom of the  skirt.

HTH,

Hi,

I thought I would give a report on my search for what  a pillow case dress was like.  I went to a large consignment sale this  afternoon.  I was looking through all the little girl clothes when I  foundthe a pillow case dress!  I didn’t buy one, but I did give it a  good once over to see how it was made.
It appeared to be a tube like a  pillow case.  At the top it was like they had cut the top of the  pillow case open and  turned it over and then on each corner made a J  shaped cut and then stitched around for the arms.  The top was boat  necked with ½ inch ribbon running through to draw it up and connect the  front neckline to the back.  So it had two bows one on each  shoulder. 
 I
definitely will be trying it out for Olivia for summer  they were very simple and cute.  



Jill
