How I would make

 

 Ok this is the Neat Knit Glam Ma Duster. It look pretty simple to remake. I am thinking:

4 yds of 60" (45" may work)

Hamburger fold (the fabric comes selvage edge to selvage edge (hot dog fold) open up and fold in half top down. you should have a fold on top and two yards front and back)

Sew up the side leaving a 9" opening on both sides.

Fold the entire garment in half and cut only the front layer all the way to the top.

Now, this is what I did. This idea just would not go away until I tried it. I went to Walmart got a three-yard fabric bundle and tried it out. Three yards got me a knee-length Glam Ma cardi I m don't think it is a duster because it does not hit the floor, but the next one will. AYYYE!

Back At It

 Left is inspiration right is actual. 

Dress

Two width of fabric by 52" (give or take) sewn together 

Added pockets 12' below my armpit.

Create a 1" casing for the elastic and done. 

Sleeves

 I probably should have interfaced and then they would be puffier. 

I measured my bicep and the part of my forearm where I wanted the sleeve to stop. 

Cut a piece of elastic for each.

Did one-panel width of fabric and the length I wanted I think it might be 18-20" made the same 1 " casing and added elastic. so the sleeves are separate but you can tack them to the dress if you wanted. 

When I say the width of fabric this fabric was 56-58" wide. 

Easy Peasy

A Soror wants one of these dresses. I am thinking I need to know here height and upper bust measurement. We will see.
