The perfect & most simpliest skirt tutorial

I finally got a chance to make a skirt ever since I read about how Elaine from Clothed Muched made s simple skirt with a tutorial she found at What Would a Nerd Wear.

This is definitely super simple. You just need to be able to cut fabric and sew a straight line. It is that simple!

I bought this dress at Ross a few weeks ago for $3! I wasn't crazy about the skirt part of the material, but the more I look at it, the more I learn to like it! I took the whole dress apart so I could resew in a thinner piece of elastic. I just cut the elastic in half. Unpicking took longer than sewing, so I would say you can get this done in 30 minutes or less. I am speaking from amateur sewing skills too!

My skirt is a little too big, but eh, that's alright! I'm too excited to care. Maybe I'll fix it one of these days, but until then, I will just belt it.

  5. I was linked here from 'Clothed Much' and my draw dropped when I saw the dress. I have the same exact one, and I've been looking for a way to make it....more attractive, I guess?

    Thanks!
