Yup, you read that right - Sheet Dress. I wanted to make a Christmas dress for Shannon but I didn't want to invest that much because, frankly, I wasn't sure I could do it. I found
THIS tutorial for the skirt and then traced the top of a dress she adready had for the bodice. I used a red flat sheet that I had for the fabric and it turned out beautifully. I purchased some discount satin for the sash and then buttons. In total this dress cost me less than $5.00.
I ended up shortening the sash. I lined the bodice with more of the sheet. I cut the back panel along the dise of the sheet so that I didn't need to make a hem for the hidden zipper.
She loved it!
The skirt is a full circle - perfect for twirling. :)
This dress was simple enough, I am going to be making more soon. You should try one. I had a lot of the sheet left so I made some little ties for the boys so everyone matched at Christmas. Love that!
