Keep in mind an average pillowcase width is 22" and if using fabric that means 44" total width before you sew into your tube or pillowcase. If you are making a small dress, the width doesn't need to be 22" wide. I sometimes use my smaller widths of fabric for the little girl dresses-maybe 16-19" wide before doubling.
Small
Size 2—16”
Size 3-- 19”
Size 4-- 22”
Medium
Size 5—24”
Size 6—26”
Size 7-28”
Size 8--30”
Size 9—32”
Size 10—34”
XL
Size 11—36”
Size 12—38”
Keep in mind, once a dress becomes too short to be a dress, it works as a cute top with shorts, skirt or pants. Dresses can also be worn with a shirt underneath. Hope this is helpful-comment if you have any questions!
These dresses are made with vintage fabric given to me by my cousin Cheryl. Cute huh?
Cute fabrics. Sewdelightful has a list too with fabric widths to cut for making dresses with fabric.
