Every summer I like to make some cool clothes. Of course, remodeling old things is often a regular handicraft work. I have remodeled skirts into short sleeves before. My sister gave me a white lace skirt while she was sorting out old clothes, asking me to remake it. The white 8-panel skirt isn't suitable for our age to wear, as it makes people look fat. I thought it would be great to make it into a little blouse!
Since the skirt hem has two rows of lace edges, I got an idea and cut the skirt in half, using the upper part for the top and the lower skirt part for the bottom. Thus, a spliced white blouse was born!
After making it, I tried it on and it felt incredibly soft and comfortable due to its delicate and smooth texture, which is really a good material for making clothes.
This casual transformation actually fits this year's fashion trend. This kind of blouse is quite expensive in the market! Turning a skirt into a blouse, giving old things a new look, is also a good DIY attempt during the current economic crisis. After the renovation, there will be an unexpected effect.
The white 8-panel short skirt.
I made red and white checkered edging and added lace as decoration around the collar.
The remodeled blouse.
This is the back of the blouse, with a half-length white lining inside.
Cutting from both sides of the skirt, I added two small sleeves and put another lace trim at the back for decoration.
Wearing this blouse, we can feel young again, especially because it's cool and comfortable!
