No-Sew Party Dress

 Hello Readers. It seems like the holidays are coming faster than ever this year. What if you need a party dress but you don't have one ready? What can you do? I have quick and easy idea. 

Before and after.

 

 You only need 2 items to create this party look. First you need a big men's t-shirt with a round neck. The bigger, the better. The second thing you need is a button-up blouse. The one I have here is sheer but any dressy blouse or shirt will do. You are going to wear it with the t-shirt.

Put the t-shirt on as if it were a strapless dress. The neck/head hole will be small enough to stay up Above your chest. It will stay on you very well. 

Those sleeves need to disappear. Tuck each sleeve into itself.

 

They will look like big pockets after you tuck them in. Stay with me, We are almost done.

Now we get to the blouse. You can use long or short sleeves. Whatever you want. The shirt covers your shoulders and helps to keep you warm but it also gives the waist of this t-shirt dress a nice shape. This t-shirt dress is shapeless. Adding the blouse on top makes the dress more flattering on your body. Tie the shirt at the smallest part of your waist. 

 

Put on your party shoes and you are ready to go. 

If you want to make those pockets into actual working pockets you can sew the sleeves closed at the ends. It won't change the look of your dress. It will make the pockets more useful if you sew them closed but you might not have time for this step and that's OK. Either way enjoy your party!

This is my third dress refashion for December 2021. I refashion dresses all month to bring attention to the Dressember organization. Why dresses? That is a good question. You can go to Dressember.org to learn more about the fight against human trafficking and why wearing dresses and ties to raise money can help victims.
