Skirt from a Dress Refash

TheRefashStash

I have been holding onto this dress for far too long. I actually liked this dress as is, but then I wouldn’t have a refashion to share if I kept it the same. So I was brave and turned this shirt-dress into a skirt.

I have to apologize for not having any process pictures. It was a very short process.

I removed the bottom of the dress from the top using my seam ripper.

I sewed a thin casing for some elastic.

Threaded the new elastic through.

Stitched up the hole left to thread the elastic through.

That was that!

Hi there! Welcome to my little blog! My name is Marisa, phonetically that’s Marie-sa! My goal is to change the way you look at outdated clothes by making you think outside the stitch! I am a dental hygienist by trade but that leaves me longing to show my creative side and having something more fashionable to wear than scrubs! I have always been interested in fashion and for years I have been dabbling in creating my own clothes. Now is the time to seriously get into refashioning and encourage you to do the same! I hope this little blog of mine inspires you not to pass up those oversized unsightly pieces of clothing but to transform them into something beautiful! Happy Refashioning!
