I made the dress above using this tutorial. It was a fun way to learn how to use elastic thread. I did have to reduce the width of the dress a bit because my gal is on the skinnier side of things and I couldn't get the dress to get small enough for her using the measurements given. But other than that, it was enjoyable and simple to make. Plus it was a nice way to use up a yard of fabric.
