We all have that dress, the one tucked all the way in the back of the closet, the one we don’t wear anymore, because well let’s all say it – it’s embarrassing!
Well, my dress made me look like I was 5! Seriously! Here is proof!
It’s not that bad lying flat on the floor though 
But those sleeves are simply killing me! I can’t believe I bought this back in the day, and more over, wore it to my senior thesis presentation in college :/ What was I thinking?!
But when I was going through my closet this past weekend, I decided it was time to do something about this dress! And yes, when you look at it, it makes perfect sense to turn it into a skirt!
I also added little ribbon loops on the sides to run my skinny belt through:
And ta-da (well not really, I still need an elastic to run through the top) But I was so excited to share this post with you, because I think this is by far one of the best “saves” that I did!
I just can’t get over this pattern! Never will! Have an awesome day everyone!
xo,

this is great! Another twist on this idea is if you had hemmed it slightly higher and then put the elastic in the same place giving it that flower effect: http://img3.etsystatic.com/000/0/5219243/il_fullxfull.238251263.jpg
Oh I like that!
Hello Zhenya, pretty pretty dress. You look great.
Thank you
The other day someone at work asked me if I was Greek 
Looks great! Much more sophisticated now! I love that pattern, too. Seems I can’t get enough skirts these days myself. I’ve got a load of old dresses to turn into skirts. So much more versatile.

I have started to notice that the number of dresses and skirts in my closet has gone up by a lot! I need more pants now
Такое симпатичное платье!
Ну вот все уже – платья нет, теперь юбка )
