Sew it up!

 LOVE this polka-dot navy dress. Didn't love the size. Seeing as I don't have very much faith in my moderate sewing skills, I opted to just chop and sew it into a skirt. Maybe some day I'll try to just pull it apart and make the whole dress my size.
Shirt: TJMaxx
Skirt: Thrifted (was a dress)
Earrings: Forever 21
Necklace: Charlotte Russe
Belt: Thrifted
Shoes:???old

  5. That looks awesome!! I have a dress that I'm too scared to cut into but can't wear as-is. Maybe I'll just have to take a page from your book and skirtify.
