Hello Readers. I used this very, very long maxi skirt to make a sundress. I am short so I wasn't surprised that this skirt was too long. I thought it would make a great sundress if I played around with it a little.
Before and after.
#shortgirlproblems right here.
When I say that I tried on the dress and played around with ideas, I mean it. I wanted a top and a skirt from this skirt and I tried all different ideas to make that happen.
After a lot of thought, I cut the bottom of the skirt off. That was going to be my top. I didn't have that much fabric to work with.
I used my dress form to make a top. I used my serger to put it together.
I wanted to make some kind or ruffle strap but I really didn't have enough fabric. I had to work with what I had so I made 4 tubes and those were my straps. I needed to iron them flat and then attach them to my top.
I sewed the straps on and the top was done.
Well, I did some hemming and ironing, then I was done.
My dress is perfect for the hot summer days we are having. It's lightweight and comfortable. Stay cool out there everyone. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
***Year End Update- This dress was perfect for the summer heat and I wore it a lot.
