How to Make a Dress Out of a T-Shirt

By Rain Blanken, About.com Guide

Open up the cut sleeves. Cut along the seam where the sleeve met the rest of the shirt. Then cut about an inch away from this line. Use the above photo as a guideline. Repeat this step with the other sleeve.

You can cut thicker straps if you like, but the t-shirt fabric tends to roll up on the sides and appear thinner.

Once your straps are cut, it's time to mark the back of the shirt.
