  Step 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.

• 

  Step 2

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

• 

  Step 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".

• 

  Step 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.

• 

  Step 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 :)

• 

  Step 6

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

• 

  Step 7

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

• 

  Step 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 !

Oh, excellent! I rarely wear dresses, but when I have to it's always the same relatives, so this is great for me. One easy-to-make dress that I can wear a million different ways. *Sigh* Problem solved. =)
