I
used a child's robe pattern with
a rounded yoke that buttoned up
the front. You can also use a
child's choir robe pattern but
I was unable to find one. This
one was made with Simplicity 8093. |
|
Make
bottom width wider and longer.
I made this one a bit too long
but better longer than too short.
Set your dress down on the pattern
to figure out just how wide. You'll
also need to widen and lengthen
the sleeves. |
|
Use
lightweight fabric, polyester
or cotton blend. Something that
won't wrinkle would be best. The
sleeves could be any fabric. I
used contrasting cotton (pre washed)
so it would breath. It comes in
alot of fun patterns. |
|
The
closure could be buttons, zipper,
velcro. This was made with the
grommet tool and snaps. You can
also get strips of snaps to sew
in. If you use velcro, please
find the "no snag" type
available at Walmart. Velcro is
historically bad for these fabrics
and threads so I would advise
against using any velcro except
the "no snag". |

Some
like the closure in the back. |
