The base dress is pretty simple. I created a tube top first. I lined it with the same fabric for the fear of seeing through, and on top, added a little loop to go through an elastic band.
The skirt is a circle skirt, I think Burdastyle has a simple how-to of it. I usually cut out a square fabric, fold it twice, then cut the hem so it will be a perfect circle. Then at the other end of the folded square, I cut out a small circle, which is where your waist goes in when wearing it. Then I put the tube top and the skirt together, added a sash that goes around the back, crossing, and tie it on the left side.

Cute dress! It doesn't look like Miss America at all!
That dress is gorgeous! Such a pretty color on you. I'm a little unsure of the one-shoulder trend myself...it hails from the seventies and keeps on coming back. But I might want to try this dress on for size. :) You make beautiful, wearable clothes. Love!
Hello, I like teh look of your one-shoulder dress. The banners you spoke of, IMO, would be much improved if they were like yours. (they couldn't write as much by way of slogans there (evil smile) I tried to look at the link for the dress. Unfortunately, when I clicked on the link by that name, it "was not found". I thought you might want to check this out. Cordially, Nehmah
nglalala, thank you so much! i was afraid that i would look like one.
hi erin, thank you for your compliment! yea, i wasnt sure about the one shoulder trend, until i saw the badgely collection. they make it in a way that looks classy, not disco - 80's like.
hi nehmah, thanks for your input about the banners! i should change it to something more fashionable. any ideas?
Good evening, I gave your banner some thought. About my only suggestion would be to make the panel somewhat wider with a series of soft vertical pleats that cascade to the waistline.
BTW, I think we were talking at cross-purposes regarding banners. I had in mind the sort that politicians wear to tell all and sundry what noble, patriotic, empathetic humans they are. You were speaking of the fall of self-fabric that goes from the bustline to the waist and drops down. I had politics and voting on the brain that night. Sorry if I fouled your lines. Cordially, Nehmah
hi nehmah, thank you for your thoughts! i like your idea a lot. wider, with a pleat. it might be difficult to make with the fabric i used here, since it has so much stretch, but maybe in matte satin or something for more dressy look? im excited about this! thank you:)
