Quick Steampunk Bustle Dress

Quick Steampunk Bustle Dress
This is a nice, easy bustle dress, excellent for a first-time steampunker.  The only sewing skills you need are the ability to do a running stitch (in and out, in a straight line), and the ability to secure one item to another at a fixed point.  Which is great, because that's about all I can do!

(My boyfriend and I were a mad scientist and his resurrected zombie girlfriend for Halloween.  Steampunk, naturally.  If you'd like to learn how to make his costume, his instructable is here.)

What you’ll need:

Pillow
Needle and thread
Pillowcase
Waist cincher
2 yds fabric
Straight pins
Brass button
Safety pins
Dress to wear underneath
