As I have mentioned about a million times before, silk is a slight obsession of mine. Add to that I'm a material snob & compulsive op shopper... which brings me to today's DIY!
I picked up this (very ugly & dated) granny dress for $5 purely because the fabric was so beautiful, but without knowing what I'd do with it.

How to?
A quick glance at the waist seam showed it was completely choppable, so I just chopped off the top very neatly and tidied up the edges. Fastest silk midi skirt creation ever.
Happy Australia Day to everyone, Australian or not!

ReplyDeleteFound a gorgeous emerald green vintage blazer with polka dot lapels over summer for £1, all it needed was the lapel to be chopped off and there's a statement piece right there!
