  Step 1

  Rip the seam at the bottom of your pillow case and hem the edges.

  OR

  Measure how long you want your dress to be and sew yourself a tub that fits over your shoulders.

• 

  Step 2

  For the arm holes, and make sure your arms fit comfortably!, cut out upside down semi circles on either side of the pillow case.

  OR

  Cut semi circles on either side of your tube, after measuring enough fabric at the top so your arm holes are covered. :P

• 

  Step 3

  Take the top panel and fold it over the arms at the seam.

  OR

  Fold over the top to go over your arms. Stitch a seam before you fold it over if you'd like.

• 

  Step 4

  Add a zipper to the back side of the pillow case. Make sure to remember to stitch the panel into the zipper as well.

  Add some darts for the curves!

• 

  Step 5

  Add a belt and some heels and you're ready to go for a romantic day!

What a great idea and an amazing dress! Thanks for sharing! You can also do this with an other piece of fabric, it will just take more sewing.
I'll definitely make this dress (one day, maybe during Summer ;) )
