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:
shirred elastic waist
Such a pretty skirt - I love the border print.
