knit Belle dress pattern rec's?

[blemon]

Hi!
This is my first time posting in this part of the forum.

We are surprising my now 8yo daughter with a trip to WDW for her birthday in May.
I would like to make a Belle dress for her out of t-shirt fabric.

Has anyone tried something like this? Can you recommend a pattern?

I found a tutorial online but I have made that shirt before and I hated the pattern.
I want to use a pattern I can buy from JoAnn's and cut out.

I want to make something she can wear all day. Last year I found this adorable Anna dress and she just loved it. https://www.amazon.com/Disney-Froze...U6/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1474907935&sr=8-19


Thought she would appreciate me making her one.

I'm not the best one to ask as I can not sew a straight line but I did find maybe 2 options...

If you are looking at the yellow dress maybe this pattern: http://www.fabnfree.com/2013/08/20/20-free-disney-princess-costume-patterns-tutorials/

Or could you maybe adjust the pattern for Dorothy's dress pattern from Wizard of Oz?


Good luck!

Ok, thanks for that link. Lots of great ideas there!

I found a yellow skater style dress and think I might try to modify it. It's more than I want to spend but after buying fabric and a pattern and thinking of how much time it will take me, $28 isn't seeming too bad. Plus I've got plenty of time to wait for it to maybe go on sale.
I've been checking ebay as well.
