Dress to Skirt



Renuka had this dress that fit her really awkwardly on top, and subsequently she didn't wear it a whole lot. So, we spent a couple hours cutting it and reforming it into a skirt for her. I put in a new zipper with hook and eye, created some darts in the back, and took it in a little on the sides. The waistband is a little thinner than I'd normally like, but I cut it off right underneath the original decorative cummerbund area (I'm sure there is a technical term for waist paneling, but I do not know it), and there wasn't much extra fabric to create the waist with.
