  Step 1

  First, take 2 large pieces of fabric (or do what i did : folded a HUGE piece of fabric in half) and draw a big fat T on it.
  <--- like so.

• 

  Step 2

  Next, cut the "T" out and fix the height to your liking.

• 

  Step 3

  Then, hem the sleeves, the bottom of the dress and the neck line. Since my pieces were joined together, it took me less time to do this.

• 

  Step 4

  Take some elastic, approximately the size of your bust. This will give your dress it's shape.
  NOTE: DO NOT take any more than your bust size because that's what i did and the loose-fittingness made me look bigger than I am D:

• 

  Step 5

  Mark where you want your elastic to stick. I put mine a little below the bust to ensure that my boobs don't look big :P (hehe, conservative I am!)

• 

  Step 6

  Next, take two strips of the same fabric and sew them on to the wrong sides of the dress. This makes a pocket for you to stick your elastic in. Or, if you have thicker elastic, you could just sew that on. Mine was too thin to sew on so I went with the pockets. Make sure it goes all the around the dress.

• 

  Step 7

  Sew the strips on to the wrong sides of the dress.
  Again, remember to make it pocket-like.
  This means that there should be a stitch on each side and a gap in the middle of the strips.

• 

  Step 8

  Thread the elastic through the pockets all the way around the dress. Close it off by hand.
  Then, sew the sides and the sleeves together. I made my sleeves narrower at the top for winged effect :P

• 

  Step 9

  And presto, you're done! Now that wasn't so hard, was it? :D Hope you understood my how to and make sure to post you version, I'd LOVE to see it! :D

Could you take a picture of you wearing it?
You don't have to show your face or anything, but it would be nice to see it on someone to see how it looks

I just guessed Just make sure that the sleeves are the height to want them to be, but you can still fit almost two of yourself in the dress
