A Modest Princess

I was given the lace overlay portion from the

Two Dresses become a Two-in-One skirt

And as I had kept the original lining I decided to reattach the lace to the original lining and make a skirt.

We didn’t get a picture before we cut the top of the dress off, but it was just tiny triangles with spaghetti straps.

Having tried the lining on, I marked with pins where the sides needed to come in to fit my waist.

I sewed one side, then drew the line to match with disappearing ink so both sides would be even.

and trimmed off the excess.

I then pinned the lining to the lace.

And sewed into place.

The original zip and buttons worked, I just added a hook and eye at the top.

Finished skirt! Leaving the lace longer than the lining accentuates the pattern of the lace.
