Basic Convertible Dress

• Fabric for the Dress
• Ruler
• Scissors
• Sewing Machine
• Thread

• Cut a circle for the skirt. The skirt can be as long as you want it to be.
• Cut out a hole in between the skirt for the waist and hem the waistline.
• Cut out two straps of fabric that are as wide as the distance from center of your bust to just under your arm and as long as 1.5 times your height.
• Measure your waistline and sew a band a little longer than the waistline measurement.
• Turn the skirt inside out from the circle in the center and sew from inside the waistline.
• Sew the straps in such a way that they overlap on each other about three to four inches towards the bottom.
• Align the raw edges of the straps with the raw edges of the skirt waist.
• Fold the band in half.
• Lay it on top of straps, aligning its raw edges with the skirt and strap edges.
• Start sewing where all the edges overlap with each other.
• Once you have sewn all around the waistline, overlap the band a bit and then cut it and give finishing touches to the sewing.
• When you wear the dress, you can play with the straps and the band to give dress different looks and styles.
• It will be better to use stretchable fabric for better results.
