get some old jeans of yours
cut the inseams appart
fold it flat
cut the points off in a straigt line, my picture doesnt show a straight line in the back of the pants cuz i fixed it later
turn it inside out and pin togeter
sew a double seam on the sides you pinned
leave it inside out and fold it flat the right way, zipper in the middle.
cut the corners at a slant, about 15*. dont cut the arm holes too deep or the sleeves will bow out and the dress will look bad. the neck should be about 5" deep.
now if you're small chested, you could just stop here. but you're prolly gonna be hidiously squished up top, like me, so continue :-p
make a mark just under the bust in the middle of the bodice and take it off and cut down the middle to that mark.
turn it inside out and sew a double seam to secure the end of the cut so it wont tear.
cut the front of the button down shirt off so it will fit when the bodice is folded back. (i used my duck tape maniquin)
put it under evenly and pinn it down so you can still fold the things back a little bit.
to hem it, keep it right side out and, starting in the back middle seam, fold the fabric just a little and pin it in place and sew all the way around. same for the arm holes. when you get to the bodice, jsut sew to each pin, like connect the dots.
and meet up the seam in the back and backstitch it to secure it.
this is how the straps should look inside out.
and when you get to the corners of the front, fold it the other way because here the inside will be the outside.
cut the sleeve off a the buttondown shirt the size to be a filler skirt for behind the zipper
pin it inside and sew it in place
fold the extra together and sew it so it wont be annoying when you wear it.
tada!
