-
Fold fabric so it is 54" wide by 1 yard.
Fold that in half. where the center is cut you neck hole. -
fold all edges in and do a running stich.
Do the same around the neck. -
With your machine use a strech stich and follow you running stich.
Try it on, inside out. And mark were you sides meet. Or measure if you want it perfect. -
Sew up each side you just marked
when you get to the armpit area turn it in a half circle and sew a parallel line about 1/2 inch ( to the outside) -
cut between the two stich lines
Turn inside out and tada all done. -
With scraps you can tie a headband.

It is definitely a 70's dress! I used to have a dress similar to this as a kid in the 70's.
I am sure this is a fun dress for her or any girl to wear - I remember the big batwing sleeves made me feel like I was wearing a superhero cape.
