Today I decided to make a dress to skirt refashion. We found this dress at Goodwill for $4.00!
This dress was a cute but short and uncomfortable, so I decided to make it into something better. A dress like this is sort of too fancy to wear very often, but a skirt made out of fabric this cute would definitely be a wardrobe staple. I love the wide waistband style of this dress, so that added to my desire to make it into a skirt. So here are the steps that I did.
Step 1. I cut off the top part that made the skirt a dress.
Step 2. I folded the hem I cut off and ironed it
Step 3. I folded the part I had ironed and sewed it.
Three steps and that’s it! It was easy for me (I’m just learning to sew – a beginning seamstress) and didn’t take very much time either.
This is such a cute skirt and I like it a lot. It is very easy to dress with different tops and make it look different. Maybe we will have to use it in a future outfit post!
I just love how the black ties now make a big bow in the back.
Total Time: 30 minutes
Total Cost: $4.00

I wore black shoes and a white button up shirt with this. It is now a nice full skirt. And more modest and practical for chilly weather too. But since it won’t be chilly for too much longer, I love how the pattern in versatile enough to wear for a spring skirt too!
Well, leave me a comment telling me what you think of my first dress to skirt refashion. I’m so glad I tackled this project because it was easier than I thought it would be, and now I can look for more cute dresses!
Get flirty with skirts,
