Subject: Help with dress!!

I am not a seamtress but I know to sew. I have offered to make a pageant dress at no charge for a 6 year old. I am not sure where to begin. I know that you use a circle skirt pattern & fishing line. The dresses I have seen seem a lot fuller than that. Do you sew 2 circles together or is one enough to make the full ruffles? (I plan to make 4 or 5 layers) Should the skirt be about 12 inches? I want the top to be fitted to just below the waist, sleeveless but with a narrow band around the shoulder to decorate. Am I heading in the right direction?

[> [> Thanks. Do you make 2 separate circle skirts & sew them together? Will that make them hang evenly? Do you put any gathers at the waist? I hate to sound dumb. Thanks again. -- me, 11:53:28 09/04/06 Mon [1]
