I loved the fabric that I used for the skirt I gave away so I decided to make a dress for myself out of the same fabric. I found a pattern for a "peasant" style shirt and decided I could lengthen it, add ruffles and a belt and turn it into a dress. That plan probably would have worked pretty well if I hadn't accidentally bought the pattern in the "large/extra large" size. Even after I tried to slim-down the size large I ended up with something that looked like a moo-moo ( I'm not sure if that is how you spell it, but I'm talking about those huge dresses that you're grandma wears around the house). Needless to say I had to take the dress in even more (around 8 inches more actually) and even now it is still rather large but once I tie the belt I think it looks ok.
