White skirt - refashioned!

I said I had something in mind to do with the bottom of this dress, remember?
I refashioned it into a skirt! What do you say?



Now, the story goes like this: The fabric came from my mother's vintage stash. Since I already had something similar in white, which I liked more, I decided to dye this piece. The fabric came out of the process with no coloring at all, just a couple of stains. So much about the content of synthetic fibers. Disappointed, I then decided to use it to make a test garment. As you know, that experiment didn't work either. But I had this brilliant idea of embellishing the whole skirt with ribbons of remnants of white fabrics! A closer look:



First I took the remnant pieces of white fabric and cut them into 2,5 cm wide ribbons, then I sewed them freely onto the skirt with a straight stitch. I started at the bottom and randomly applied piece after piece. I love how this skirt refashion turned out! :-) Fraying edges included!

Ciao!


P.S.
I named her Dottie White, heeeee! :-DD

  5. Your skirt looks fantastic.

    I have experiences the same thing with a mystery off white fabric. I was certain it had some cotton content, but did not take a lick of dye.
