You know, one way to make modest clothes in any color and in the right size is to sew from a sewing pattern. If you wait for a good sale, they only cost $1-2 and the variety of styles is amazing. I really like them because I can make my clothes fit me right, while store bought ones will often fit rather akwardly as I obviously am not who they had in mind when they designed them :) Here I had a McCalls pattern (6346), which have very nice, very detailed instructions! See, all you had to do was sew the gathered top - the bottom half was only two pieces, so very easy.
The only modifications I made to the pattern was gathering the neckline a little tighter than the pattern called for because I didn't like how low the back was and I added a ribbon tie because I thought it would look cuter :)
