T-shirt Summer dresses

Hey all !

So I thought I would share with you a couple of summer dresses made from t-shirts.  

So, this first dress I wore to my aunt's wedding.  Made from piecing and serging inside.  I traced the pattern on my dress form with princess lines and scalloped edges:

Lined bodice and elastic to the top.


The next dresses were made last year, using... t-shirts !  They all have exposed serged seams and are not lined.  They are from my own pattern.

Cute and confortable work dress.

My grasshopper dress.  Very form-fitting for a night on the town !

My fun bubblegum dress.
So I need suggestions:

1- Embellishment ideas for my "wedding" day dress.
2- I thought of shortening and adding a ruffle to my bubblegum dress.  Pro or con ?

So which do you prefer ?

You can see more details on my blog: Sewliltime

Peace

Claudia

I don't think the wedding day dress needs anything-- it's a great basic! I love the hem. :) Maybe just a chunky statement necklace for the event?

These look great Claudia! Thanks for the share! I don't have a preference on your bubblegum dress; I think both would look good! As for embellishments for the wedding dress... perhaps just a belt or bright scarf. I think accessories would do just fine and may be more effective than embellishments. -Seeks, EOD
