Paige of Sunday Best and All the Rest is having a fantastic retro themed Blog Party, so I thought now would be the perfect time to share a recent sewing alteration. Hopefully this is something of a forties look.

So, the skirt was the dress on the right, however, it didn’t fit very well. But with a few snips and stitches I now have a beautiful skirt that I’m getting much better use of. 🙂
Much thanks to Paige for hosting this fun party!

I have that eShakti dress!!! It needed a few alterations for me too but I couldn’t help keping mine a dress. Love how you made it a skirt:)

Yay for eShakti! The color and stripes are just perfect for summer, aren’t they?
Thanks! I briefly considered trying to alter it as a dress, but I do wear skirts more, so just opted for that instead.
Thank you so much for your comment! 🙂
I love each piece of your outfit!! The colors in your skirt are beautiful!! I also wore a skirt that I had refashioned from a dress! 🙂
Aw thank you! This skirt is already a favorite for me. Off to check yours out!
What a pretty skirt refashion Mary! Your outfit is so cheerful and feminine. Thanks so much for linking up to my blog party! 🙂
