Just a quick project that I couldn't pass up when I bought it for 99 cents at savers. What a buy! Pleats, pink and floral..love. And I paired it with a top that I made more wearable (modest). All I did is take out a few pleats and because there was no zipper, I had to add some elastic in the back (ie starting from one side seam or the side of skirt to the other. Stretch the elastic as you sew a zig zag stitch) and next time I would have used wider elastic, probably as wide as the skirt's band.
wow. it's fabulous!
ReplyDeletei'm dying over that outfit, you knew EXACTLY what to pair it with.
Adorable, very cute! Good save!
ReplyDeletelove it!

This is so helpful, thanks! I just recently bought a black pleated skirt at Goodwill that is adorable but way too big. Hopefully I can use this to fix mine! I love the colors in yours and the stripes/flowers combo!

ReplyDeleteHi Lizzie! I love your blog so much, you are so creative and adorable! I just had a question--have you ever tried hemming pleats, especially in thin poly materials like this one? I love finding pleated skirts at the thrifts but I'm 4'11", so hemming is almost always a must. I haven't had the nerve to try it yet though, so I was wondering if you had any tips!
ReplyDeleteThanks! --Joceline
