Quick Super Hero Dress Tutorial

Quick Super Hero Dress Tutorial

Supplies 

  • Tank top
  • half yard of fabric.
  • Elastic
  • Sewing Machine

Instructions

  • Start by cutting the shirt to a proper bodice length (I just held it up to a dress that I knew fit properly).
  • Then cut a piece of elastic the same length as the circumference of the edge of your shirt.
  • Take the elastic and while stretching it serge it into the top edge of the skirt. This will gather it up and make it stretchy. One tip I do is to mark the half way point on the skirt and the elastic so I know about how much to stretch it (you want those points to match up). If you don’t have a serger you can do the same thing by finishing the edge of your skirt fabric and then instead of serging use a 3-step zig zag stitch to put in the elastic.
  • Next attach the skirt to the bodice. Pin the trimmed top to the skirt right sides together then run a 3-step zigzag to attach the two. This will allow for some stretch and the elastic that you put into the skirt part will help it keep it’s shape.
