I immediately fell in love with this dress the moment I saw it. I knew I could try my hand at sewing something similar in the form of a skirt. I bought some black lace and fabric and got to work. I shortened the lace from the straight edge to leave the scalloped bottom intact, and used the cut piece to cover the waistband. I simply followed my pattern for a circle skirt in different lengths: short for the inner lining of the skirt, and long for the lace. I sewed (my first!) invisible zipper along the seam. Then I followed this tutorial on how to sew a classic waistband. This is probably my first sewing project that I will actually wear, and the one I’m most proud of (so far)!
