Turn an Old Skirt into a New Dress!


My lovely friend Brittney and I were shopping around Goodwill one day (what else do poor college students do..?), and I decided to try an idea that I saw on Pinterest! Contrary to what some people might think, I get A LOT of my creative ideas from Pinterest :)

We found an oversized skirt and made sure it fit over her head/shoulders with some extra room. Then...





I simply cut up both sides of the skirt, cut off some of the extra fabric to make it smaller, and sewed up the sides! The waist of the old skirt became the collar of the new dress. We put a belt around it to make it more figure-friendly and...VIOLA! A beautiful (cheap) dress!





Here's a good before/after shot.
