Tunic from oversized shirt

Laying a nice fitting dress over and oversized shirt to mark new seams

The crop top trend is driving me bonkers. My youngest can only wear leggings (they are the only bottoms flexible enough, and don’t require zippers or buttons or snaps so are easy for school). School rules require that leggings be covered with tops that go lower than fingertips (which I fully support). But the tunic trend for teen girls has made way for the crop trend, which is not school friendly. So I have a solution. We bought a t-shirt three times larger than she needed. I then used one of her nice fitting dresses as a guide to make new side seams. The resulting garment is long enough, but doesn’t look like a tent on her. Hurray!
