Wow... That's kinda cool!!!

At first I thought "It's a T shirt... Must be one ghey dress!"

But I'm rather impressed :clap:

[Livvy]

... I might just go buy a dress...

My sewing skills aren't terribly up to scratch.

Actually, what is really lame is one day when I was doing some mending, my guy mate came up behind me, looks at it critically for a few moments, and informs me that not only am I using the wrong stitch, I need to use a thicker thread. :pinch:

:lol: .. Did you make him fix it? Or show him how good your sewing is on human lips?

[BiK3RChiK]

Heh! Notice the close-up shots were when she was making it, but once made the camera was much further away!!:jerry::rofl: If I wanted a skimpy little number, I'd just go and buy it!

No. I threw it at him though, and sulked. Does that count? :lol:

[PrincessBandit]

Ok, PB is up for the challenge. Gonna find an old t shirt as see if the end result is even half-way to the finished product shown in the vid clip. (I also have my suspicions about the "close up before and 'further away' after shots :msn-wink:
Will post pix when I'm done, anyone esle want to give it a go?

[gijoe1313]

Good on ya ... see if its a snopes hoax sorta thing ... just showed it to my learners and the girls were impressed, but they would rather spend the dinero on new dress bling :lol:

The guys were just looking at the girl's bits as usual :rolleyes:

[klingon]

Heh! Notice the close-up shots were when she was making it, but once made the camera was much further away!!:jerry::rofl: If I wanted a skimpy little number, I'd just go and buy it!

yeah I also noticed she was prancing around flicking her hair so we never got an actual look at the finished item. On the other hand, when you look like that you're going to look great no matter what you wear. Burlap sack anyone?

[firefighter]

yeah errrrr, sexy dress....:whistle:

Will be interested to see the after pics... sits and waits :whistle:

Hopefully not too long :lol: Am on school holiday, but not entirely sure how long it will take (the chick in the video did it pretty damned fast don't you think?) ;)
Will post the pix no matter how good or bad it looks, but I don't promise to model it.....:pinch::eek5:

[Joliet]

It's almost a shame that the main part of the tshirt gets turned upside down or you could turn some of those unshaply man band tshirts into some nice dresses. Good idea in theory but I'd be impressed if it really worked! The hips looked a tad large ..

[Daffyd]

She models it well!

Well, three hours later tee shirt was turned into dress. After deciding which of my tee's was going to be sacrificed to my dodgy sewing skills it was all on. All stitching was hand done as my sewing machine died a horrible death by dismemberment several months ago, after a long sickness of lack of use. The job would have been soooo much quicker with a machine, but still even hand sewn it's the fastest dress I've ever "made"! The sleeves which become the bust I couldn't quite work out how she did those parts as the vid glossed over that part pretty quickly. (I think she must have attended the Alysson Gofton "Food in a Minute" school of dress making to make hers in 90 seconds :lol:),
Anyways, pix as promised:

[Livvy]

The sewing machine i hope!! :lol:

Unfortunately, no, I was hand-sewing.

Can I try? :rolleyes:

Looks pretty great!

Hmm... I have a t-shirt in the wardrobe that my ex left here when I kicked him out/broke up with him. Could be put to good use!

If you see my posted pix you'll see that it doesn't end up upside down so your suggestion about type of tees to use would be quite good! As for shaping, you can alter the line of the seams if you really want to, just an extra bit of sewing! If you give it a go, post your pix as well. Cool!

To be honest... i'm quite impressed... :banana:
Nade wants to know if you will post pics with out the t shirt? Shall i slap him now?:Pokey::girlfight::bash::kick:

[PrincessBandit]

Lol! Yes you can punish him, in what ever manner you see fit :whistle: Perhaps you should make one and then he can model it???

[CookMySock]

Anyways, pix as promised:haha, very cool! well done! :first:

Might be a good project for the bored young ladies around here during the holidays.

[klingon]

PB, I'm so impressed that I'm looking at all my old T-shirts differently now! I think their days as T-shirts may be numbered...

Well done with the design - the striped sleeves ended up looking great.

[Subike]

cool looking adaptation of a wasted bit of cloth,
my unused tee shirt become polishing rags
I dont think my Butt would look as good in one of those, its a bit saggy :devil2:
So what can be made from one for a guy?
The sewing is no prob, I can do that
But I would never model it.
Nice pic princess :niceone:

Hey, I think you did a great job. Thanks for the photos. I didn't look at the original video because I'm on dial-up, but I bet hers couldn't be better than yours. Well done!

That actually looks really awesome :2thumbsup I don't think I have any tees I want to cut up though .. may have to go on a scout in the second hand shops! If I give it a go, I'll definitely put the pics up :yes:

[McDuck]

Thats cool, altho it would not be hard to end up looking like a tramp.

[PrincessBandit]

Bet you wouldn't say "no" to a tramp though? :msn-wink:

[McDuck]

Bet you wouldn't say "no" to a tramp though? :msn-wink:

Well actually i would. Where is the prize in doing a chick that would happily get done by anybody?

[PrincessBandit]

Good point, but as I've never gone down that path I can't answer your question!

btw, I thought it looked "summery", not "trampy". Wouldn't wear it in public though as I'm getting a bit too old for little short dresses like that!

But you are right, it could easily go the trashy way. Tastefulness is a matter of opinion and what is trampy to some is "fetching" to others.
