How I love love love balloon dresses! You do two?? Great couse here you can see how to make one out of a oversided shirt and a tanktop.
Great for this summer!
1
first you'll need a big oversised t-shirt. Make sure the t-shirt is big in length and expanse. And a top that fits you tight
2
put the top on and pute some pins on were you want the dress to begin. Cut this of, leave 1 cm. on for the welt.
3
It should look like this.
4
cut the big shirt streat from shoulder to shoulder
5
cut from all the way down to te shoulder like this. Do this allso at the other side.
6
Now it looks like this.
7
cut the bottom, it's to hard so it won't wrinkle right later on.
8
sew the sides back on together.
9
Put the good sides on eachother from the shirt and top.
10
so you'll put the shirt insideout and put the top in it.
11
put sideseam on sideseam
12
distribute the fabric equally and pin it.
13
Now we are sewing it. Because I don't know how the stitch-types are called I put in this picture. I think you'll get it.
14
this is how the two fabrics lay on the machine when you're not pulling. You have to pull the pink fabrik smoothe or else the dress won't lengthen
15
You have to pull hard! Don't forget to pull with two hands or else the needle will brake!
sew all the way around.
this is the tricky part. You will swear your head off but it will worth it haha. I'll promess you!
16
Now we need the bottom part of the top
17
cut the bottom, it's to hard so it won't wrinkle right later on.
18
And fold over the lenght so you'll have de good side on the outside and the goodside on the inside.
19
do the same as the up part. distribute the fabric equally and pin it.
Sew it on. this wil be harder to do because you'll have 3 layers to pull.
If you pulling is not enough to get the pink on the black equally than wrinkle the pink during the sewing. Try to estimate this soon because you can't wrinkle at the last time everything.

And there it is! your balloon dress.
I don't know what I'm going to do with it. I'm going to a 3 day's festival call'd pinkpop. So maybe I'll paint the logo on. But for now its allso very cool.

I think it would look great with a rockshirt! Thats my next step.
But for now: I hope you liked this one!!!
