A few weeks ago, I posted some family pictures that my friend Katie took for us. I thought briefly spent a ridiculous amount of time planning our attire. I wanted us all to coordinate, you know, look like we belonged together, without looking like we were trying too hard.
I knew I wanted Munchkin to wear this tea-dyed onesie from a previous Freebie Friday.
So, on to Little Miss' dress, today's freebie.
Etsy has, what I call t-shirt dresses, all over the place. It's basically a t-shirt hacked off about half way down and an added skirt. Simple right?!?
So here's what I did. I found an old t-shirt from Little M's drawer and tea-dyed it.
Then, I added a two layered ruffle skirt. (insert imagination here!) There is no tutorial because I was really winging it.
I hate to leave you hangin' so if you are interested, Ashely over at Make It and Love It, has a nice tutorial, and a much more professional product if I must say so!
It turned out pretty cute, but a little rough. The seam where the t-shirt met the skirt was a little frumpy, so I added this snazzy belt that I've been hanging onto for way TOO long. No kidding, I think it's from Jr. High. Sick, I know!
Elastic that I had on hand helped to create more of a waist. Finally, add a fun button. Buttons make everything better!
So...
t-shirt from drawer...$0.00
tea from pantry...0.00
white fabrics from "Jamie's Mom" collection...0.00
belt from Jr. High...0.00
button from my stash...0.00
total... FREE!!!
...and pretty stinkin' cute!
