I created this dress using 2 men's T shirts which are sewn together at the neck.
Supplies:
    * 2 identical cotton T shirts (I used Hanes white undershirts, size Large. I dyed them blue before making the dress) Men's size large T's will make a XS/S dress. If you wear a larger size, buy larger T shirts)
    * 4 1/2 length of braided elastic that is 3/8 wide

[Cut off the neck on both T shirts]


[Step 2: Create the pockets. Sew the arm holes closed on the right side of one of the shirts. Stitch a line approximately 1/2 inch above the arm bands]


[Step 3: Cut off the arm bands- I found that the pockets lay better without the added thickness. Don't cut too close to the stitches. Leave about 1/4 inch. This T shirt will be the skirt part of the dress]


[Step 4: Turn both shirts inside out and then sew them together at the neck]


[Step 5: I sewed a small piece of elastic on the front waistband to give the dress a better fit. At this point the front and back of the dress are the same. Just choose a side to be the front. Mark the middle with a pin. Measure 4 1/2 inches on both sides of the pin and mark those off spots off. This is where the elastic gets sewn]


[Here is the sewn on elastic. Make sure you stretch the elastic while sewing it. It creates a nice, gathered look in between the pockets]


[Final step: Turn the dress right side out, put it on and tuck the pockets in]
