4. Take the arms that you cut off and sew it to the front of your t-shirt. Only sew the sleeves to the front part of your dress not the back (if you sew the back you won't be able to get into your dress.

5. The collar that you cut off from the t-shirt is needed to make the straps for your dress. Get you're the sleeves that you have formed to cover up your front parts and sew the straps at a comfortable, reasonable and nice look.
