This is a super cheap and easy dress to skirt transformation! The other day when I was at the op shop I came across a dress with an amazing tulle skirt. It was from Forever New and had a boned bodice. I didn't think much of the dress as a whole in fact I probably would of never worn it especially due to how incredibly small the bodice was! But I fell in love with the bottom part and new I could turn it into something great and for 8 dollars I figured I couldn't really go wrong. So I set out to turn it into a skirt since I've always wanted a tulle skirt that wouldn't break the bank!
Next I cut around the top of the waistband leaving about 1 inch all around.
I then over-locked (you can zig zag stitch it I was just lazy!) the top of the skirt.
The final step was to pin the top down to the inside of the skirt and sew around. I tried to just go other the existing line of thread but if yours doesn't have any don't fret either sew really close to the top or just own it and make it into top stitching. And after $8 and one afternoons work I have a beautiful tulle skirt. Thank you for reading feel free to leave a comment!
