    I have made many of these, I love using it for a night gown, I have actually made it from an old top sheet, they are used less. I used to make little tiny ones for my baby daughter, just adorable.

    If you are worrying about your bra straps just make the string fatter and it will cover.
    Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing

    I love this dress and I was able to make it just fine (I’m a super novice sewer) but I am having lots of trouble heming the dress, my fabric starts to roll and it doesn’t lay right… Any tips?

      it might look nice if you just keep the hem raw and let it roll…
