Ghost Pillowcase Dress – Dollar Store Style

Brief instructions – – cut the flour sacks to the size you want, lay them on top of each other, and sew up the side seams.  Then cut the half-a-“u” shape for the armholes as shown – I finished those edges with a serger, but you could turn the edge and sew it down.  Cut the garland into 2 pieces – one that will go all the way around the bottom of the dress for trim and one to use as a shoulder tie.   Also cut eyes and a mouth from the black dishcloth.

 Then iron and sew down on the top of the front and back about 1 inch.  This will make a casing that the garland can pass through to tie the dress around the shoulders.

 To attach the face pieces and garland trim around the bottom, I just used hot glue.  Then feed the other garland piece through the casing – try on the dress and tie it in place over one shoulder.  Voila!

 I love this costume because it can also be everyday wear during the Halloween season.  My daughter is wearing it with a tank top and leggings underneath.
