Pencil Skirt

This $5 dress had definite potential, but the fit was all wrong. Also, the center back seam had come undone a bit and the bottom of the zipper was poking out. I decided I would get a lot more use out of this piece as a skirt.

I chopped off the top and folded down the waist panel to create my new waistband. I shortened and relocated the zipper. And I used bits and pieces of fabric to create belt loops.

I paired my new skirt with my new floral blouse and a hot pink belt. They're the perfect colorful compliment to the conservative grey skirt.
