You just sew it to the bottom. It is a straight piece, not ruffled, etc. You would put the 2 right sides of fabric together and add the piece. I suggest using a strip about 5 inches wide. The ric rac was sewn on-top of seam where the two meet.
Good Luck!

I hope I understood your questions correctly. You just decide how wide you want the contrasting fabric to be, then add on a bit for seam allowance and hem, then cut the strip to the width of the bottom of the dress and sew it on.
Are you using a real pillowcase or making one? If you are making it out of fabric, I would sew the strip on before you do the seams.

ETA: If you don't want to make the dress longer, make sure you subtract the strip width from your original dress length. (keeping in mind your seam allowance)

Thanks guys! Sounds REALLY easy, i kinda feel dumb for asking I am going to try to get the house and laundry done quickly tomorrow so i can try one!

Good Luck on that!!! I never get to go into Wal-Mart and just get what I need to get. I always seem to walk out with atleast $30 in fabric.

I'm so SHOCKED!! My Aurora outfit that I just listed on got a bid already....This outfit was definately a labor of love, and I wouldn't have minded keeping it. I guess I'll have to make another..

I'll bet Ireland will hate to let that darling outfit go!!

I love Tim Gunn...he uses words like "Flotsam and Jetsam" and sounds VERY dignified!

I WISH I could make it work...I'm afraid the only thing I'll be able to "work" is my credit card...now THAT I can do well!

Allright, here is the number 2 Disney outfit. I'll try and post more tomorrow. This one was really easy... I just cut Aurora from a pillowcase and appliqued her to the tank, then made a super twirly skirt to match. The skirt has a very full eyelet petticoat attached underneath.

Your little model is so cute! I love her little feet, and of course your outfit is too cute too. My girls don't wear tanks..I'm not sure why

Well, you know....list it on the DIS.....have others going to WDW in April who are not going to get everything done, and have a little girl who wants it SO BAD, MOMMY!!!......The rest is history....

OK, so I was going to make Ella another apron style top tonight, but I just thought of a possible predicament. I think the ties may interfere with going potty (as in possibly dangle down into the potty - ack!) Do you all think these types of tops would look OK with shorter ties?

I was just going to come an post about this. I just happened to be looking and saw it. Congrats!

The outfit is just gorgeous! I haven't let Delaney see if because she'd be bugging me to make one and I'm certain my skill set isn't enough to do it. You rock lady!

While I'm remembering, only because they just did a reminder on the 11 pm news, don't forget to move your clock forward an hour tonight, it's time to spring ahead... I almost forgot...

That is sooo cute! When we were at DW watching the PPP parade I saw Aurora in a lavendar dress! So that is so aurora to me! I may just CASE that! And I was going to comment on your DD's cute feet too!

OH thanks! I did forget.

JUST AWFUL!

I went to Walmart today for the first time in oh a good month since I have been working so much. I wanted to get some fabric. I had Georgia with me so she could pick some for "everyday" clothing..right?

NO MORE FABRIC DEPT!!! I was like OOOOh well then there is no reason for me to keep shopping here. I felt a little tiny crack in my heart ..breaking. Oh me oh my.


OK vent over. haha We did get a Hannah Montana Wig and Lily doll. so this is what The Peach would look like with straight hair. haha

I was trying to read your post, but I kept getting distracted trying to figure out how in the world Georgia's hair suddenly went completely straight!!

That is AWFUL about your fabric department! How dare they! You should email the corporate office and complain.

I didn't realize that Georgia was wearing a wig until I read it! I was wondering what you did to straighten her hair like that!

Great minds think alike!

I know I showed this outfit before but it wasn't finished. It is now...and I found out, that the skirt can be worn two ways! I love how it came out. Ireland loves it too.

I'm working on another Aurora as we speak...I'm almost finished. It's kind of hard to stay motivated this week. It's my spring break from school, and I have my state board exam on Wednesday and I should be studying like crazy, but can't seem to do that either...

I love it with the tulle!

Thanks guys! Sounds REALLY easy, i kinda feel dumb for asking I am going to try to get the house and laundry done quickly tomorrow so i can try one!

Don't feel dumb! We are happy to answer questions around here! I was just really pleased to actually KNOW the answer to something for once!

This is so cute!!! I love the purple for Aurora!!

I knew you could do it!

I think it wold look fine with shorter straps.

Hmmm, missing a quote here,
LoganHogan I loved all those outfits!!! Especially the Cinderella one!
