In my last post, I showed you how to make a slim-fit T-shirt pattern. With that pattern, we can create many different designs. In this post, I am going to show you how to make a T-shirt dress pattern.
It’s very easy. Let’s take out the T-shirt pattern from my last post. https://janaesdesign.blogspot.com/2020/08/crew-neck-slim-fit-t-shirt.html
Patterns
You will see 3 numbers in every measurement. The top one is Size Small or Size 4-6; next is Size M or Size 8-10; the bottom one is Size L or Size 12-14. You will use the number of your size.
Back
Extend the center line with the measurement indicated. I use the measurement from the waist line down. The reason I use waist line instead of the bottom hem is because it is easier to get a precise measurement. You can change the length whatever you want. I like this length.
Draw the bottom hem with the measurement provided.
Draw a line from the armhole to the bottom hem. Then, trim the angle to right angle at the bottom hem. It’s done!
We will do the same with the front piece.
The sleeve and neck piece are the same as the T-shirt pattern.
Cutting
The fabric I am laying out here is 62” width. You can figure out how much fabric you will need according to the length of the dress. Before you lay down your patterns, fold the edges to the center.
You will need to leave 1/4" seam all over except the bottoms of sleeves and the dress. The seam of the bottoms will be 1".
Sewing
The way to sew the dress is the same as sewing the T-shirt. You can go back to the post for reference.

For next project, I am going to show you how to make a swing dress.
