  Step 1

  ok, first thing you need to do is find a skirt. I bought this one second hand for £2. it's a long skirt made of blue and black patterned tulle, the label says that the brand is Roman Originals. or rather, the label said that as the first thing I didn was cut out the labels, they were really annoying me! getting in the way and all that. the skirt should be long egnougth to comfortably cover you up.

  Step 2

  This step is easier with a dressmaking dummy, but you or a friend will do. You need to put on the skirt and pull it up to your bust, and position it so the fastenings are at the back. My skirt had a zip, which worked well. then pin it down the side so that it forms a dress shape with exess fabric at the sides. you only really need to make it tight where the zip goes down to, unless you want to make a really tight dress.

  Step 3

  chalk down the sides where you want the seams to go, and then sew down those lines! whoo hoo! yeh! (got a bit hyper!)

  Step 4

  trim the exess fabric, you should end up with a nice little tube dress, you could stop here, if you wanted to.

  Step 5

  now add a classy little ribbon! make loops at either side of the dress, and tie the ribbon at the back. I used a thick black ribbon from a dress I've grown out of.

  Step 6

  aaaaaand your'e done! you could add straps if you want, but I made this for displaying jewelry with, so I didn't do straps. oh yeh, and just because I made it for disply, dosen't mean I'm not going to wear it myself! tee hee hee ;3 lol!
