I made this dress almost a year ago but every time my daughter wears this dress people ask where I got it. I thought that I would put the information up here for where I found the instructions on what to do, dollar store petal skirt. Since the instructions are for an adult skirt I modified it. Also, I apologize in advance. I didn't take pictures of this dress as I was making it. In my mind I thought it would be a disaster and end up as a Halloween costume or play dress.
I used my older sons old white t-shirt as the base which worked great. Then I bought a scrap piece of fabric from the remnants at JoAnn's for the strapless part. In the back I did a tear drop so there is one button on the top of the dress. The straps are 1 inch hot pink ribbon that I straight stitched onto the bodice of the dress. Then i straight stitched the same ribbon between the two pieces of fabric, strapless polka-dot to the flower petal skirt to add length and more color....not bad for my first dress and only $3 for everything I needed.
