Extend Your Skirt

So I have a favorite dress that I always feel uncomfortable wearing because its just a tad too short to me. So I decided to change it.

I decided to add lace to the bottom of my skirt but I just wanted it to poke out of the bottom. I've had a cheap slip for forever that I hardly ever wear and a peice of lace I got as part of a wedding gift.

I marked where the slip hit the bottom of my dress and cut it off.

Then I cut the portion of the lace I wanted to stick out.

Then I simply sewed the two pieces together using the widest zig-zag stitch I could, because of the lace.

What do you think?

Use your imagination! You can put lace on the bottom of your skirt/dress or make a slip like mine. Or don't use lace at all! Use tulle fabric, or just a cute cotton print. Here are some other cute examples I found on the web:
