There is something about a dress that makes you feel like a princess and this one is a little extra! This tulle t-shirt dress tutorial starts with the Viewfinder Tee, a great basic knit tee! I used ivory tulle and a layer of lining fabric to make the skirt. I just attached it to the bottom of the tee. It’s fancy but also super comfortable and easy to slip right on since the bodice is knit fabric! The Viewfinder Tee is a little bit long anyways, but the skirt also weighs it down just a bit, making it very elegant. I’m thinking I will make a few in princess colors next!
The knit fabric is gorgeous and super soft. It’s from So Sew English but I think it may be out of stock. I used this lining fabric and basic tulle for the skirt.
