Modified Pillow Case Dress!


This was my first attempt at a "modified" pillow case dress.  If you aren't familiar with those, essentially you cut the pillowcase to length and just "finish" the top leaving everything else alone.  I figured it would be easy enough to sew two rectangles together and hem it so I went with fabric I liked instead.  This also allowed me to control the width better. 

I used a combination of two websites and their versions as well as one of my daughter's dresses for measurements.  The top part is elastic (used to be as wide as the bottom).

Supplies:
1 Yard of Fabric (I used 1/2 yard for her size)
Rick Rack (which is just a silly name)
Button
1/2 Elastic
Iron
and of course thread, pins and patience :)
