One-shoulder Chevron Dress

My only "before" pic

I made this dress out of two large t-shirts I had originally intended on refashioning into a self-drafted (read: disastrous) dress. I took the print of the tees, cut them in strips, alternated them with strips of plain t-shirt, and then re-cut them in biased strips to create the chevron.  In retrospect, and with more t-shirt material (read: had I not butchered the shirts earlier), I would have made two squares of strips and cut them both in opposing bias directions to facilitate the chevron pattern.  I would also recommend using a serger/overlock for the strips, as cutting them again for the chevron resulted in some unraveling.

The dress is based on the One Shoulder Knit Dress pattern by dixiediy over at Burdastyle and is super comfy. A little extra was added to the front skirt panels to account for some baby-belly action.
