Check out this easy tutorial for how to turn a dress into a skirt making an enclosed waistband!
My daughter spotted this print in the goodwill bins and lit up, until I pulled it out and it was a size too small! The skirt was super full so I suspected it would fit just fine even though the sleeves were too short and the bodice had lots of stains on it. An hour of sewing later and I was right, it fits great as a skirt and will probably last a couple years! This is a beginner sewing tutorial if you have patience for working with stretchy fabric, and the same steps can easily be applied to an adult dress as well.
