Freebie Friday- Tea Dyed Dress

 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!
