The Fugly Dress Refashion: Part 2

And just what did I create with the leftover bottom of that fugly vintage dress?

A rather magnificent maxiskirt!

Here’s what I did:

I snagged a pair of rarely-worn cords from the back of my closet that oh-so-perfectly matched that leftover fugly dress fabric.

Chopped the top off of the trousers above the crotch.

Stitched the lining & the bottom of the dress back together.

Popped the top of the cords into the bottom of the dress with right sides facing and side & back seams lined up.

Note: you can also pop the trouser top over the skirt & achieve the same result.

Then I stitched them together…

and zigzagged over the outside seam for extra strength.

Then replaced the button with a funky vintage one from my stash.

et voila!
