Sadly I didn't make it, i got it made for me. My best advice is to go to a JoAnns or other costume/craft store where they sell premade instructions of a dress similar to Wendy's nightgown. That is what I did. I found a packet having all the instructions and how much fabric I would need. Picked out the amount of fabric & then gave it to my moms friend so she could so it together. Good luck!
