Cut two (bust size) by (dress length) pieces of the fabric.
For the sleeves, measure your shoulder from underarm to underarm and multiply this measurement by two.
Measure the length of your arm to the length where you want your sleeves to end.
Cut two of the (shoulder 2x) x (sleeve length) measurements on your fabric.
Using the pattern provided, cut out four-pocket measurements.
Measure the size of your bust and determine where your pockets will fit.
With right sides together, lay in both main dress fabrics, matching the pocket placements.
Measure your bust and find out where you want the shirring to stop.
Mark it up on your dress fabric.
Shir in the bust of your body piece.
Hover your iron on top of your shirring to shrink it more.
Measure your arm and shoulder again and cut elastics to those measurements.
For the sleeves to puff, hem both ends of the fabric by folding in 1 cm twice.
Stitch the hem down but leave a small opening to thread the elastic through using a safety pin.
Stitch the two ends of the elastic together.
Trim the loose threads.
Repeat for the other sleeve.
