Have you tried making a pillowcase dress before? I did, and I was NOT happy with the results. The dress was a huge shapeless sack on my skinny little girl. Not as cute as I was hoping. But I found a super cute pillowcase at a thrift store that I knew would be a great pillowcase dress. So I followed the basic tutorial found HERE, modified the idea and came up with this:
To add the waist, I just made the bottom rectangle of fabric larger than the top bodice part of the dress, giving me room to gather it a bit. Very simple to do, but it totally changed the shape.
Here’s a close up of the bodice. Much better with the waistline added! And the best part…the total cost of the dress: $1. Yeah!

That looks adorable, think I would have a problem getting my darling to allow me to put one on my son. Hehe xxxx
I agree about pillowcase dresses. I have made them before and they are a little shapeless…but I do not have your flair for fixing that!
