Star Wars Bedsheets refashioned into a dress (and three skirts!)

I'm going through a dress phase again at the moment, and I'm not afraid to wear interesting things to work. So when I found these Star Wars Stormtrooper bedsheets in an op shop I had to make something!
Cue favourite pattern: 
There was plenty of fabric for a full-length dress, so I folded and pinned my pieces. I wanted to get more than one garment out of it, so I didn't necessarily follow the grain of the fabric... but hopefully it won't stretch too much.
I also cheated and combined a couple of pieces- sometimes I'm lazy! It's for me, so it doesn't matter so much.
The other skirts that I cut out:
1) Rockabilly pattern, just needs the waist band on it in this photo:
Finished:
2) Rockabilly pattern for my nerd skirt, in progress:
3) Flared skirt:
Four garments out of two bedsheets is good recycling! 
Keep an eye out for the finished dress!
