Have you seen Oz the Great and Powerful yet? My family and I sat down to watch it last week and absolutely loved it. It’s a fresh take on the Wizard of Oz story and was created by Disney movie Studios.
I love that they were able to sprinkle a bit of Disney magic into the classic story. I thought I had such a great message about overcoming obstacles and believing in yourself.
Any time I watch a movie, I’m always inspired by the costumes. I adore seeing how the costume designer in the movie puts together fabrics and colors to create the look and mood of the movie.
In Oz, I fell in love with the character of the China Doll. She’s adorable and spunky. Her costume is equally adorable. A cute blue dress with a lace overlay and a blue striped belt. I decided that I would try to recreate the look of the dress but in a t-shirt for my daughter! We love to dream up DIY and craft projects inspired by our favorite movies. We’ve created notebooks, t-shirts & even popcorn buckets in the past!
Here’s how you do it. You can create this entire project by hand. You do not need a sewing machine.
Supplies
- Fitted T-shirt
- 1 yard lace panel
- 2 yards small lace trim
- Needle and thread
- Ribbon for belt
- Sharp Scissors
Instructions
To begin, lay your lace over your t-shirt and pin. Make sure that the bottom finished edge of the lace is even with the bottom of your t-shirt.
Use a fabric marking pen to mark the collar and sleeve seams on the lace.
With the lace pinned very well on the t-shirt, trim the lace even with the sides of the t-shirt, the sleeve seams, and the collar. You’ll need sharp scissors; go slow.
Machine stitch up the side seams of the t-shirt catching the lace as you go. Hide your stitching line in the t-shirt side seam.
You’ll need to hand stitch the sleeve seams and the collar. Just do this with a simple running seam (trim off any extra lace when done).
If your lace trim is not already gathered, gather it (that way, it will go around the curve of the collar smoothly). Machine stitch the lace to the collar. This will hide your hand stitching lines around the collar.
For one last touch, tie the ribbon around the t-shirt to use as a belt.
You’re done! Now you’ve got a lace-trimmed t-shirt just like the China Doll in the Movie! Ready to go and get the Witch???
Oz is available now on Blue Ray. We really did adore the movie.
