I always love a good tiered skirt refashion.

BEFORE: Tiered women’s skirt picked up at Savers Thrift Store.

Banana March 3, 2010 at 2:21 am: This is lovely! Would you, pretty please, consider doing a tutorial??
Bethany March 3, 2010 at 3:27 pm: This is amazing! I just started following your blog and I love the stuff you do. I am inspired to give sewing another try … I used to do more of it, but I’ve been working almost entirely with paper for some time and I think I’m ready to give cloth another try. I just can’t stay away from the beautiful fabrics, thrift store possibilities and ideas like this one!! I don’t have children to sew for (yet!), but I’d still love it if you’d share how you made this dress. I’ll bookmark it for when the time comes. 🙂
mommymae March 4, 2010 at 7:56 am: i just bought a skirt like this for $1. i was going to do something else, but i might meld the two ideas. i really like your straps.
Ida Mae March 5, 2010 at 8:00 am: How incredibly adorable! Now I just need a little girl to make it for!

Would you believe I have the EXACT same cowboy boots this little girl is wearing from when I was 5 years old? (glad my Mom kept them, so I can pass them on!)

Marissa March 6, 2010 at 10:50 pm: Love your ideas! I definitely want to try this one for my little daughter. Right now she is only 8 months, so I have lots of time to practice. Or I could try a little girl’s skirt transformed to a baby dress!
