A quick dress-to-skirt refashion of this tulle creation. I probably shouldn't even post this, but I am.
The dress was the perfect thing to refashion. It had been cute on a 4 year old but the bodice was showing the wear with stains to boot. The tulle skirt, on the other hand, was still in very good condition.
Because the dress had an empire line waist, I figured I could get it to fit an 8 year old waist as a
skirt. Whole thing lower = same circumference. I didn’t even have to change the
opening. It was a button back so I left the single button in the new waistband.
I cut off the top of the bodice, about 2 inches above the waistband. The dress
is a thin, silky polyester with a cotton voile lining, and I needed to give
them some structure. I added a strip of heavyweight interfacing in the
waistband opening, then folded the raw edges in on each other and topstitched
down.
That's it. Done!
