NEW DIY | How To Make a Colorblock Maxi Dress from T-Shirts

Sometimes a favorite piece is just too comfortable to throw away. I didn't want to get rid of my perfect fit tee from the GAP so I decided to up-cycle three extra large men's polo shirts from Goodwill to create a dress inspired by the colorblock skirt I saw at ASOS this spring. 

Chic Girl's Tip: Anytime you plan to up-cycle jersey knit pieces, wash and dry the clothes before cutting them for your projects. For this project, I used the largest shirt as the bottom layer and smallest for the top to make sure the shape of the skirt portion was a-line.

It's no secret that I love girly details, so doing projects like this totally make my day. Especially when my friendly, local Hobby Lobby store makes it so easy by providing the chiffon flowers already done up! The project took about 30 minutes and the time is so worth it when you get something useful in return...like specifically, maybe, hello, a cute dress you don't have to wear a tank under ('cuz that gets old really fast).
