I'm doing Race for Life on Sunday with assorted family members and I decided to make a mad pink dress as a costume. I reconstructed it from 4 of my mum's old tshirts. As ever I can only do a flickr link, sorry! Here it is.
This was not terribly thrifty because the pink dye was hugely expensive (£5.99!), but probably quite a bit thriftier than buying something similar. Although the finished article looks mad, there was a point when I was only half way through the ruffling where it looked almost tasteful - I'm going to try and make some more (not in pink) with fewer ruffles.
The tshirts were going to waste otherwise so I'm at least glad I gave them a new lease of life. My mum brought me down a big bag of old tshirts/ shirts last weekend and quite clearly thought I was mad, but so far I've made this and a skirt and I'll be able to make loads more
