Summer sun and hot summer days. So, you want to keep cool and look good doing it? Make yourself a Tube Dress and enjoy the heat.
Instructions
1. Pick out some stretchy material that looks good on you.
2. Measure yourself around your widest point (generally the bosom or hips), add 1/8 of a yard to hat measurement and buy that amount with matching thread and the same length of elastic about 1/2 wide.
3. Go home, strip and wrap the material around your body, holding the top above your bosom. Mark where the top end meets the fabric after wrapping it around.
4. Cut from that mark, straight down to the edge of material (it will be at an angle).
5. Fold ends together with the good side of material facing into the inside.
6. Pin together at 4 intervals and sew together with a double straight stitch.
7. Pull elastic around your bosom to a comfortable pressure and mark. Pin elastic to the top of the dress on the inside (the nice part) and sew a straight stitch on top and bottom. Fold over and sew this closed.
8. Turn dress right side out and trim all loose threads.
Enjoy the heat and the looks as my fiance does.
Tips Warnings
