May 17 [Sunday]

This dress was made from a skirt I bought from Savers that was size 17-18











V I first cut off the top layer of the skirt, because I was only going to use the bottom four layers for my dress.









V Then, I surged and sewed the top of the dress, leaving a little opening to put the elastic through.









V Then, I clipped the elastic holder onto the elastic (which I measured at about 34 inches) and pulled it through the hem I just made.









V I opened up the side of the dress and did the same thing for the hem between the top and second layer of the dress. As you can see in this second picture, once pulled the elastic through and had both ends through the opening, I sewed them together multiple times for reinforcement.
