Top: Sheinside c/o (sold out, similar and on sale!) Skirt: me (tutorial below, fabric found here c/o Michael Levine, similar) , Shoes: Lulu's c/o, Clutch: Forever 21 (similar), Cuff: Urban Philosophy c/o, Lips: MAC 'So Chaud' I have been seriously swooning over all things floral lately. When I saw this amazing poly charmeuse while exploring the warehouse wonderland at
Michael Levine, I immediately thought of Rachel's skirt from
this post. I have had a floral midi on my to sew list for a while, so I snatched this fabric right up. I created a quick tool skirt to slip on underneath to give it a little extra volume as well. It was perfect to wear at the last night at Alt Summit for the mini parties (more from my Alt experience to come!)

Step 6. Stitch up one short side of the waistband, and sandwich the top of the skirt in between the waistband so that about ½” of the top of the skirt is covered (make sure that the basting stitches are up inside of the waistband). Line up the stitched side with one of the open zipper sides. Pin all the way around and stitch as close to the bottom edge of the waistband as you can. You will have an extra inch or so on the waistband. Fold the edge under and hand stitch a large hook and eye for the closure (see close-up shot above)
