Read on for the tutorial!






OK for the tutorial:
(sorry it was a "trial and error and more trial and more error" dress so there aren't any pictures :P )

You are going to want to check out the tutorial for the grey dress. (I answered a few questions that you guys had.)

You are going to do the same thing that you did for the grey dress but its going to be a little bit shorter because you want it to be the length from your ribs to the floor.

Now you are going to take a bikini top that you have and trace the triangles. I took the strings out and laid it flat. I cut two pieces and then sewed them matching sides in then flipped it right side out.

Now you are going to pin them to the top of the skirt. You are going to want to pleat or ruffle it as you sew/pin so that the top will be more of a "cup" and wont be flat so your boobies fall out the side :P Now sew them down.





(When you trace your bikini top it, the bottom of the triangle will probably be curved. This will help make that "cup" when you pleat it.)

Now you are going to make the belt that goes across. You can use this tutorial for the headwrap I made. Just make it a little bit longer.

I made it long enough to wrap it around and tie it in the front. You don't have to make it that long. You can just have it tie in the back if you like.

Now that you are done sewing your belt, just wrap it and tie it. You can sew it down and the top of the skirt if you like. I would just sew it around the front to allow the elastic to stretch when you are putting it on and off. ...or breathing :)

So I hope that was easy enough for you guys to understand. I'd love to see photos of anyone who makes a dress! Let me know if you guys have any questions.
