KIDDIE DOODLE 2

Project: Drawstring Halter DRESS

This was the dress I made when I got the spools of thread from my lovely friends.

I used: 1) About 2 meters of gray fabric. It’s a fabric used for office uniforms. 2) Matching thread. 3) Floral scraps from an old pair of pajamas.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Take body measurements (chest, bust, length, waist, hips) and divide by four. Add several inches depending on how you want the dress to fit. Cut fabric, using the pattern below. The red line is where you fold the fabric for symmetrical pieces. Simply trace the pattern to the other side when you’re done with one side. The sleeves area of the back part looks different. This makes the dress sexier.

    I love this dress and am going to have a go at it. But could you tell me where the zipper goes and what length it is. Also I am also a newbie to sewing so could you let me know how to get the pattern life size?
