I bought a men's t-shirt size 2xl with Michael Jackson on it. Mind you, I am a size sm/med in jrs/womens...But I bought the shirt b/c I liked it and it was on clearance, and I had a plan for it. My plan was to make it into something I could wear. And that's what I did....I made it into a dress.
I wanted to kind of give it a little MJ flair as well, so I took some leftover fabric that I had from making the jacket to a Michael Jackson costume for a friend of mine [its shown in this post], and I used it to make embellishments. Since it was a T-shirt for This Is It, I also embroidered the opening lyrics to the song entitled 'This Is It' along the bottom of the dress. It reads, "This is it. Here I stand. I'm the light of the world, I feel grand........" and then it says "RIP Michael Jackson 1958-2009". On the upper back of the dress, there is a small white heart embroidered, and under it, a sequined glove. Yes, the glove is in black sequins instead of white, because black fit in more with my theme.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out...and you can bet I will make more in the future :]
