  Step 1

  (TOP FRONT PIECE'S)

  FOLD THE FABRIC IN HALF & LAY THE FABRIC FLAT ENSURING THAT THE STRETCH ON THE FABRIC IS RUNNING LENGTH WAYS NOT WIDTH WAYS!

  MEASURE FROM YOUR SHOULDER TO JUST UNDER YOUR BUST

  TAKE A VEST TOP LAY IT ON TOP OF THE FABRIC PIN & CUT AROUND IT

  IF THE LYCRA YOUR USING IS NOT OVERLY STRETCHY THEN I SUGGEST CUTTING AT LEAST 4-5 INCS AWAY FROM THE VEST

• 

  Step 2

  (TOP INTERFACING)

  I'M USING A BLACK FABRIC AS MY SKIRT IS GOING TO BE BLACK YOU CAN USE THE SAME FABRIC OR ONE OF YOUR CHOICE

  AGAIN FOLD THE FABRIC IN HALF & LAY FLAT
  TAKE THE TOP PIECE'S LAY THEM FLAT ON THE FABRIC PIN & CUT

• 

  Step 3

  YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE FOUR PIECE'S

  X2 BLUE FOR THE FRONT OF THE DRESS
  X2 BLACK FOR THE INTERFACING

• 

  Step 4

  TAKE A PIECE OF BLUE & A PIECE OF BLACK PUT THEM RIGHT SIDES FACING & PIN

  SEW ALL THE WAY ROUND YOU DO NOT NEED TO SEW THE BOTTOM

• 

  Step 5

  SINGLE STITCH ALL THE WAY ROUND
  YOU DO NOT NEED TO SEW THE BOTTOM

• 

  Step 6

  THEN ZIG,ZAG STITCH ALL THE WAY ROUND TO OVER LOCK IT

• 

  Step 7

  CUT ANY EXCESS FABRIC AWAY TURN INSIDE OUT & PRESS THE SEAMS DOWN WITH AN IRON

• 

  Step 8

  NOW YOU SHOULD HAVE TWO FULL TOP PIECE'S

• 

  Step 9

  TAKE THE TWO TOP PIECE'S AGAIN RIGHT SIDES FACING
  PIN AT THE SHOULDERS & SIDES & SEW

• 

  Step 10

  NOW THE TOP PIECE IS COMPLETE

• 

  Step 11

  HOW TO MAKE THE THE SKIRT PIECE
  AGAIN TAKING THE REST OF THE FABRIC FOLD IN HALF AGAIN

  PLACE THE FABRIC NEXT TO THE TOP MAKING SURE THE WIDTH IS THE SAME & CUT

  YOU MAY NEED TO MEASURE YOUR THIGHS AS YOU MAY NEED A LITTLE MORE LEG ROOM IF YOUR FABRIC IS NOT OVERLY STRETCHY?

• 

  Step 12

  NOW LAY THE FABRIC FLAT RIGHT SIDE DOWN
  TAKE THE BOTTOM & DOUBLE FOLD AN INC OR TWO PIN & SEW FROM END TO END TO HEM THE SKIRT

• 

  Step 13

  FOLD THE FABRIC IN HALF AGAIN RIGHT SIDES FACING & PIN THE RAW EDGES TOGETHER & SEW

• 

  Step 14

  WITH THE TOP & SKIRT PIECE INSIDE OUT LAY THEM NEXT TO EACH OTHER

  ENSURING YOUR SKIRT SEAM IS CENTER BACK PIN ALL THE WAY ROUND & SEW

• 

  Step 15

  & YOUR DONE :)

That looks amazing! Don't think I have the confidence to do it though! Can't imagine what mine would turn out like!
