Dresses for India

We have been asked to provide dresses for India.  And we will be making t-shirt dresses but the person that wants to take the dresses doesn't want cap sleeves on the t-shirts sew that makes it harder to find suitable t-shirt.  Yesterday I was at Hancock Fabrics and they had their patterns on for 99 cents.  I found a pattern and spent this morning adjusting and simplifying it to work for India.  Here is the dress I came up with.




This is a size 14 and is a little longer with more modest sleeves.
It takes about 1 1/4 yards for a size 14
I will be making the pattern up next week if you are interested
And if I get some questions about it I will do a tutorial.

Thanks to all the wonderful sewers that make dresses!!

    My mom used to make pillow case dresses for special things when I was a kid -- the one I remember best was for the 12th Street Rag. She made me a flapper dress. Love seeing all the styles you are creating with them - my mom would have been so impressed!
