Take a lookie look at what I made from a pair of size 40 men’s trousers I bought for 50 cents!
I cut the top part into a pearish shape and added an elastic waist. Then I made an Obi belt out of the fabric from the legs to cover the ugly elasto-waistband…almost a completely No-Waste refashion!
I wore a simple LBD under my new skirt, and voila! The whole thing looks like a dress!
Feeling adequately frocked, I met up with a couple of pals to see the 2010 Vista Queen Pageant at Trustus Theatre.
Of course this was no ordinary beauty pageant…:)
All of the queens were wonderful! We had such fun being serenaded, heckled, and ultimately verrrrry entertained by all of them, but my vote went to…(drum roll please)…
Cheers!
Please give some guidelines for the obi belt. Thick part waist length but how long for the ties? 2x,3x, ??
This is one of my faves – so very extraordinary
AWESOME revamp!!!! You are SO very creative!! Now i want a man’s pants skirt!!!! 😀
From a masculine pair of pants to a very feminine balloon skirt!!
