Resized skirt!



I found this skirt at the thrift store, and fell in love with it, but it was a size 0. I frowned, and put it back on the rack, but then the lightbulb went off, and it went back in my cart. I resized it, by cutting off the waistband, and adding a soft, stretchy, lightly felted (washed in a hot wash, so it won't unravel when cut) merino wool waistband from sweater. Now it's a size *cough* ! It's very flattering on, but since I haven't shaved my legs since about October (sorry if that's tmi!), this is all I can show you right now ;).

I'm definitely going to have to remember this. I often find skirts that I love but are too small - now I know how to fix them.
