Floral Print Skirt Refashion


As soon as I got a peek of this floral print hanging on the rack at my local thrift store, I was pretty sure it would be coming home with me.  Didn't even matter what article of clothing it happened to be.  I was in love with that floral print.

When I pulled it off the rack, it was. . . 


A vintage housecoat.
For $1 - Sold!
This wasn't even going to be hard.


I cut out the zipper and cut off the top portion right below the arms.
Then I stitched up the new middle seam and used elastic thread to create a shirred elastic waist.

My lovely new skirt:

The skirt has a beautiful retro feel. Great transformation from frumpy housecoat.
