  Step 1 of 5

  1.) Find a pattern or or cut out pieces to make a basic strapless dress (preferably one that flares a little at the bottom)

• Step 2 of 5

  2) sew the basic structure of the dress and then cut a scalloped edge at the bottom for the hem. Make sure to have an identical piece of fabric that can be sewn onto the scalloped edge because it is easier to sew it on, flip it and then hem then it is to put a hem in the scallop.

  (if any of this is confusing or doesn't make sense please feel free to send me a message)

• Step 3 of 5

  3) make a lining for the dress or basically an identical dress but for the bottom of this create a ruffle to attach to the lining.

• Step 4 of 5

  4) sew the lining and the outer dress together add a back or side zipper.

• Step 5 of 5

  5) add a band either right under the bust or at the natural waist where ever you would like it.

  Sorry guys i know these directions are not that clear I will try and get better ones up at some point if people have questions.
