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 .

You Will Need (3 things)

  • 2 m Fabric
  • Thread
  • 4 m Ribbon

Steps (8 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Cut the rectangle in half so you have a front and back .

  3. 3

    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".

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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 :)

  6. 6

    When you lay it flat ,it looks like this.All you have to do is hem the bottom of the dress

  7. 7

    Now attach your ribbon to a safety pin so it's easier to pull through.

  8. 8

    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 !
