Have you ever been to an american wedding? Where is the vodka, where is marinated herring?!

last year, my boyfriend, a friend and me saw the amazing gogol bordello in concert again. and i bought another big shirt to transform into a dress. i started last year, wasn´t satisfied with it and put it away. as i moved in another apartment half a year ago and had to clean out my sewing room i found it again and changed it to the current look. i thought it´s a shame that it was buried in there and started to rip most of the seams to make some more alterations. well, i moved again last week and finally found the time to make some photos... i havn´t found the best place to make photos yet, i apologize they are a bit dark. so, a short description: now it´s a tank dress with princess seams. it has an empire like bust dividing seam where the piping ends. the bottom part is more pencil shaped. i cut most of the parts out of the t shirt, but some parts are made of additional jersey yardage. At the upper edges at front and back i sewed in fancy elastic to have a nice edge. All in all, it wasn´t expensive, just time consuming due to unsatisfaction and oblivion :D
