Green Dress version 2.0

About 4 years ago I decided I wanted to learn to play tennis.  I did take a class but it didn't stick.  I made this tennis dress out of men's polo shirts from the thrift store. 

But I never wore it, since I never really played tennis.  Well, space is at a premium in my apartment and in order to justify keeping this, I had to turn it into a regular dress that I would wear.  So I found a scrap of navy and white striped polo shirt left over from another dress I'd made, and added some length to the bottom, a belt, and some trim around the neck.  I also shortened the sleeves. 


I've worn it a couple times, so I guess the goal was accomplished!
