My Maybe Matilda McIntosh Knock Off Dress

Photobucket

Rachel at Maybe Matilda is a genius. The wide sash is exactly what a grown up tee shirt dress needs. I used her tutorial, found here. The higher waistline is a new look for me and I think I like it. I didn't allow enough fabric to tie my sash in a bow but I think it looks fine knotted. I used an old (and seamless- must figure out how to make another one!) Victoria Secret shirt from forever ago that I never wore because it was too short and a linen look fabric (it's 65% poly 35% cotton).

  5. Emily, that skirt looks exactly the same as a skirt I just bought for Caitlin at Anthropolgy for$118. Dumb me! Yours is so cute! (And so is Caitlin's, but the price makes it not as awesome :)).
