Two for One Refashion: Recycling a $10 Prom Dress into a Pleated Skirt and Cocktail Dress


I scored this $10 Jessica McClintock prom dress at the thrift store.  I liked the mermaid tail, but I didn't like it attached to the dress.  I chopped it off and made a pleated skirt with it.


I made 6 pleats and spaced them 5" apart.  I hid an invisible zipper in one of the pleats.




For the rest of the dress, I simply finished the hem.
