So have you ever tried to get a 20 month old to hold still?? It's impossible :) Anywho this shot is not as bad as I thought it would be.
I got the pattern from http://littlebiggirlstudio.blogspot.com/2009/02/pillowcase-dress-tutorial-dress-girl.html which I found on pinterest I also took some ideas from a few others but this is the one with the printable pattern :)
After I printed the pattern and taped it together I grabbed one of Aubs other dresses and measured that so it would fit a little tighter and not like a huge thing drapped over her. I took 2 inches off the straight side all the way down. :)
The pattern calls for 3/4 yd for the body and a 1/2 yd for the ribbon. I could probably make at least 1 1/2 more if not 2 full ones. so I would say for this size you will probably cut that in half :)
I did not use bias tape on this dress 1 because I couldn't find the right color and 2 I hate sewing with it. I just serged around the armpit whole and then folded it over and sewed it flat. I also just used the ribbon to bunch up the top instead of elastic. I don't remember my ribbon measurements exactly I think it was 4 in wide and the same length as the band at the bottom of the dress. :)
Good Luck!
