Tank dresses!

I got the idea from Pinterest to turn a inexpensive consignment sale tank top/shirt in to some cute new summer dresses. I've done six of them now and had so much fun making them.

Here's a link to the tutorial I used:
Dress Tutorial

Before: Scrap fabric and $1 consignment tank

After: New princess dress for my little princess!! I made a flower out of the fabric I cut off the bottom of the tank

Before: Scrap Fabric and $1 consignment tank

After: I added the heart applique to the tank and a ribbon around the waist for a little extra pizazz

After: The back with the ribbon tied. I added a couple of thick embroidery thread loops on the side seams and that is what I thread the ribbon through

Before: $1 Consignment sale tshirt and scrap fabric. The tshirt had a stain on it, but after I trimmed some of the bottom and added the monogram, you can barely notice it anymore.
After: A fancy new monogrammed dress for my baby girl!

After: The back of the dress. It's hard to see from the picture, but I used some of the leftover fabric from the skirt to make a sash/belt to tie around the waist. I attached it with a basic stitch at both side seams

Before:  $1 goodwill tank and scrap tshirt fabric

After: (Excuse the blurry photo) I made a tiered skirt for this one and added a couple of bows to the top of the tank to make it look a little more girly

Before: $.97 Tank off the Clearance rack at Old Navy, scrap fabric, and decorative trim

After: A cute little dress for this summer!

Before: Another $1 Consignment sale tank and scrap fabric

After: I love this one becasuse of how bright and colorful the fabric is!!



Well that's it! I hope you enjoyed looking at my altered tank dresses!
