How to Make a Dress Out of a T-Shirt

Draw one line across, then down the middle.

Draw a straight line across the back of your t-shirt, connecting the bottoms of the arm holes. Cut all the way across this line. Now measure this line and mark the exact middle of the shirt by dividing your measurement in half. Mark the line all the way down the shirt.

Measure your bust for the next step. Now you can measure how much you need to cut away from the shirt.
