You  can always trim the T Shirt or Tank top  and then sew the  skirt part 
so it hits the waist.

I have  seen directions to make a dress like this by knitting the skirt to 
the t  shirt. Yes, a tank would be really cute. I always wanted to do this 
for my  Grand Daughters. Unless the shirt was already very short I would 
think it was  a dropped waist.

say it was more of a woven  light weight  material.  Think pillow case, but 
lighter weight.

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.

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.
