Dress to skirt refashion

I started with a dress and a skirt, both were too small and too short.

The dress fabric was thin and stretchy, the skirt was heavy cotton.

I cut the top off the dress and made strips out of the skirt.

To make a pleated strip for lengthening and adding interest to the new skirt.

I just turned the fabric over at the waist to make a yoga type waistband, its very comfy.
