How to Make a Pillowcase Dress

I stumbled across this by mistake and I have to say, I wish I had a daughter! Think its possible to make a boho style top for a grown up out of (very big) pillow case?

how long should the satin ribbon be? I have some ribbon picked out, i just dont know how long it should be?

@ctrcarlson four X 18" strips. Thanks for watching!

I loved this vintage pillow case you chose. It really makes it look like an old (vintage) dress. Dresses like this I have always thought look great on little girls. I am gonna try that today and go get me some nice lookin pillow cases at a thrift store.

I would like to make a dress using put fabric(not a pillow case (how much do u think I need). do you know about how wide before elactic you would make a dress to be about pillowcase size ? would I just measure the girls shoulder to shoulder and add about a inch for the seem ?

I have not made one out of fabric but I think a yard would be enough. I use 1/3 to 1/2 inch elastic and measure from armpit to armpit.

very cute!

thank you so much for making that video! very helpful! :)

You are welcome!

Good job, I am sure she will be the best dressed little princess <3
