Since this was prevously in arts and crafts, perhaps you can make a skirt poofy like that...

Go look at patterns at your local Joanne's store or craft store...they will tell you sort of material and how much....

It's a great way to get a one of a kinda dress....

Depends on how creative you are and how close to that pink dress you want. There are a few things you can do (but they really depend on your sewing skills, and/or if you can find a pattern):

1. You can cut the dress on the side so it kinda flows over and put the big puffy netting underneath so it acts as a partial cover to the netting and flows over it, exposing a lot of the netting

OR

2. You can cut the dress, only use the top and create a skirt from a pattern from the netting and all that and sew the two together, creating a completely different dress. Mind you, netting is kind of hard to deal with in sewing, but I'm sure you can do it.

Hope this helps!
