Today, I wore this outfit. A woman told me, “I love that dress!” Lol!

Little did she know: It’s a skirt!!   :-)…………………………………………

Wow!

Who’d a-thunk it!! 🙂

It hit me like a strike o’ lightnin’!

I was looking at Pinterest for ideas. I saw all these cute, full, loose dresses… I almost hit my forehead and said, “I coulda had a V8!” Lol  😀

I had the perfect skirt for this! It was really intended to be a dress with the extra fabric at the top to be wrapped around one’s chest and tied in the back, but I always wore it as a skirt.

So, I just pulled the waist up above my chest and tied it behind my neck! like a halter, making a cowl neck. A stroke of genius! Thanks, Lord!

So, THIS IS A NO-SEW PROJECT…SO EASY!!

Simply add a cute hat, a fun, statement necklace, earrings and bracelets, a peek-a-boo petticoat, and shoes—optional! Lol

Another good re-purpose/ re-fashion idea for a very large skirt, if you’re small, is to cut it in half along the side seams, and remake into two skirts, which will become a 2-piece dress:

• One will have elastic or drawstring at the top for the waist—for the skirt part;
• One you will also draw snug with elastic or drawstring—for the top part of what is becoming a 2-piece dress. And, give it shoulder straps. Mine, I made of wide ribbon.

I used a colorful drawstring, a.k.a long shoestring 😀 .
