Following yesterday’s vintage re-constructed dress, I went on to make this mini skirt with the left over fabric. I am happy that I got to use the entire dress!
I made it very simple, no pockets, it is mini, and has elastic shirred for the waist for easy fitting.
I paired it with limited white long-t (from Kaitlyn), diy vest/gilet, vintage belt, uniqlo tights and payless booties. I wish I still had my turquoise pumps, so it would match with my belt, but unfortunately, I gave those pairs away when I moved from Philadelphia to Japan two months ago.
I sew a great post at What I Wore about how to organize tights. I used to put all tights and socks mix together in a drawer, but her way of organizing tights made much more sense. It made it so much easier for me to pick my tights in the morning by hanging on a hanger like her!

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

If you call items from 90’s “vintage”, this long dress must be a vintage item.. It is from 90’s and made in America. I don’t remember how this ended up in my closet since I don’t remember wearing it, but I sew a redeemable value in this long dress.

So I cut it short, cut a stripe of the fabric so I can hem it with folded band to make a mini dress.
I also made a big and loose “V” neck in the back and added a bow.

Voila! This is how it turned out.
I like it a lot this way since it is super comfortable with leggings.

This can be worn as a top, and in the photos below, I tucked in the dress in the pink mini skirt.

Or, I can wear it with a boyfriend blazor – which look do you like better?
