This is a dress which you can change the style of .It's based off the Le Sac dress from American Apparel which I have seen people make on Burda Styles. Photos were taken in my bathroom because it's the only place in the house with a long mirror. :P .

-
The width of the piece of fabric is your bust measurement plus half of that ,so for me it was 76 cm + 38cm .You may want to change it if you want it more flowy .The length can be as long as you like.I made mine above the knee.
-
Cut the rectangle in half so you have a front and back .
-
Lay the good sides together and sew up until you get to 6" from the top of the dress.Then use a basting for the 6".
-
Sew along the 6" bits that has the basting stitch and so it's neat then unpick the basting stitch so the arm hole is done.
-
Now to make the bit your ribbon goes through.Fold over the top of the dress enough so that your ribbon fits through it.Then sew,sew,sew :)
-
When you lay it flat ,it looks like this.All you have to do is hem the bottom of the dress
-
Now attach your ribbon to a safety pin so it's easier to pull through.
-
That's the dress done .You can put it on in loads of different ways.The web page has a few suggestions(http://store.americanapparel.co.uk/rsa0300.html) or check here(http://www.burdastyle.com/creations/show/28495) .Enjoy !

This is awesome! I was admiring the Le Sac in AA's ad in the local alternative weekly newspaper, and I was sad because I knew one of those would cost a gazillion dollars.
Just to let you know, I can't sew worth a crap but I'd gladly buy a few of these off of you! I'd rather give you the money than overpriced American Apparel! Haha! :D

i made this dress before.
i went to AA and studied the dress for about 2 minutes and then went home and did it.
i love this dress.
i'm going to make it in a lightweight cutesy fabric to wear now, cuz it's so hot.
