I bought this dress at a Goodwill. It's 100% silk, so I couldn't pass it up! I got it home and the top of it was too tight and the bow on the back was OBNOXIOUS, so I decided to make it into a maxi skirt. If you want to do this project, all I added was a piece of medium weight stretchy jersey that was an inch or two smaller than my waist but could stretch over my hips. I didn't even add elastic!

Alloy Inspired - Heather Blue Sweatsirt With Black Silk Sleeves
Today after making the DKNY shirt, I had a "Eureka" moment. The whole process took an hour--patterning and construction.
