Then I figured Natalie had to have one...or two.
She had gotten a school pride t-shirt and it was just...blah. It needed to be perked up a bit. So I sent the shirt to Upcycle Me Crazy and...
She (Tiffany) changed a boring t-shirt into a dress. She added the skirt and the arm fabric. Better, huh? (And no, I'm not being paid to post this, nor did I get the dresses for free. I paid for them, I just loved the results so I had to share!)
Yes, I made farting noises.
Natalie loves her school dress. When she wore it to school she said lots of people asked her if I made it. She said she laughed and explained that her Mommy doesn't sew.
I also sent in another t-shirt. How the process works is, you send in a large t-shirt and it'll be transformed into dress. This dress has a different skirt design. There are several to choose from, plus you can pick another arm look if you'd prefer. This shirt is from Gymboree, size 12.
I was making funny noises. The people walking past with their dog did a double take.
Natalie loves when a dress has a twirl-ability factor:
So if you have a t-shirt that you want to be made into a dress, check out Upcycle Me Crazy! The next time we go to Disney I am so sending in a Disney shirt to be made into a dress.
And now you know what an Upcycle Dress is.
You're welcome.
(Also, when they outgrow the dress, it can be worn as a tunic. So they last awhile. Bonus!)

Oh...My...GOODNESS!! Those are just adorable!! Any dress that twirls perfectly like that...wonderful! What a fantastic talent she has! (And, as usual, your daughter is absolutely the cutest thing I've ever seen!!) --Lisa
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! I'm going to have to figure out if that's something I can do. (not that well, of course, but my children are bound by genetic law to like and wear everything I make them!!)

Aww!! That is seriously so cute--and definitely a great business idea for people to be able to get the look without having to actually do the sewing and crafty part. (I'm one of the people who enjoys sewing, I know that many don't!)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, if I were a little girl I would be SO thrilled to have one of my t-shirts turned into an awesome dress like that. Heck, I'd probably like a t-shirt dress now ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese are super cute! What fun the girls had posing for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteHow much fun is that? I absolutely love it : ).
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I saw your post on the SITS facebook wall tonight so I could come over and say hello.
Nice to meet you.
What an adorable idea! I love it! I have a few shirts to send over - and I love your idea of sending over the school spirit shirt! They always seem to be so boring, don't they?? Even when I was in school those things were blah. Thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteThose dresses are so cute!
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea! they are so unique and lovely.
ReplyDeleteCan't say I've ever seen upcycled dresses like that. Very cute!
