I made two pillowcase dresses for Olivia for the summer. One is pink eyelet, and the other is white. The pink one was my first, so naturally it took me a bit longer. I made it quite differently from the white one: I used elastic across the top to gather the material, and then used the ribbon sewed to the dress to create ties. I also lined it with a separate white muslin. The white one uses the ribbon through a casing as a sort of tie across the shoulders, and it is lined with it’s own fabric (45″ folded a little less than in half). Very simple. The pink one took me a while longer because it was my first one, and I lined it (so I basically made two). The white one took me about 45 minutes though. Sweet.
And look how cute she looks!
