Blog Post About the Experience: http://everythingiwantandnothingidont.blogspot.com/2012/03/pinterest-fail-tank-dress-disaster.html
Objective: Alleged “”$6 20-minute tank dresses!”" from Pinterest. We chose this project because of the supposed ease and inexpense. HA!
Actuality: $20+ 4-hour-debacle disasters
My Result:
What Would You Do Differently? Maybe we should be skinnier, or perhaps be infants. This dress would only be flattering on a waif or a small child.

I wish I had seen this yesterday. Made it today. It looks exactly like yours. Frumpiest. Dress. Ever.
12. November - 11:38 pmBring it up higher on the waist perhaps? Also, the fabric pattern + material is not flattering made in this type of style.
28. November - 6:56 pmNo offense ladies but these were so ugly to begin with…what attracted you to this? You are so much prettier than these dresses. The original inspiration was ugly and super unflattering. Unless you were putting on a backyard production of Little House on the Prairie..
24. January - 11:11 amWell, I, too made this dress…and failed. It was too frumpy, and they didnt tell you in the directions to sew the seam up the back of the skirt twice (something a novice sewer would not know) so my seam ripped and shredded. Money wasted. I tossed it in the trash.
13. February - 3:01 amI have made this dress a bunch of times for my 4 yr old girls and even one for me…turned out great everytime…maybe bring the waist up to right under the bust, empire waist is more flattering…and I am a size 16, not a waif by any means.
