Stitch Up the Dress

Rain Blanken
Turn your shirt over so that you are looking at the front, and flip the sides in as shown above.

Now you will just need to sew straight up the back of the dress. I suggest pinning the fabric in a few places before you start sewing because t-shirt material likes to stretch. The pins will help to keep you on track.

Use a simple straight stitch all the way up. When you are done, then you can attach the straps.
