From Dress to Skirt in 0.5

I have several dresses that I can no longer wear due to just a wee bit of weight gain (basically at the top) :-(
I decided to just make skirts out of them. Here is one I finished tonight - I also had enough to make a necklace scarf to match.
I love the fabric print - but it had a bodice that just screamed "look at me" and I had to wear something under it PLUS a shrug and I still felt subconcious in it. I love Maxi skirts just as much as dresses so this is a winner now!

  8. I like this idea. Great way to re-purpose without having to get rid of something that you like to wear. I will have to keep this in mind. Stopping by from That Friday Blog Hop.
