When Using Fabric

We have come up with the measurements for various sized dresses if you are using fabric rather than pillowcases to make your dresses…



 Flo’s          Dress, Elastic and Bias Measurements for using Fabric
Dres                 Measurements: AN IMPORTANT NOTE… 
                        for dresses sizes 8 & above 44” width is an absolute minimum.  
                        On all dresses the 44” is indicating Full Width of the Fabric…

    Thanks for sharing. I have nieces and love to make things for them and have been wondering the measurements for the sizes they wear.

    I just found your website through Pinterest. I love that you're making for those in need! I have a question. What is size 1/2 or 1? Does it correlate to 12 months or 18 months? Sorry for the clueless question, but I've seen these sizes before and would like to know.
