This random piece of black fabric with tulle used to be the lining of a skirt I thrifted and altered ages ago. after trolling pinterest for the longest while, I realized I do not own a proper petticoat. If I want the vintage-poof look, I usually just layer multiple skirts underneath and that's that.
But no longer! I made a loop with the top of the fabric (which was perfectly nice and stretchy on it's own) and added elastic for the waistband. Then I gathered some of this awesome scrunchy maroon fabric I've been hoarding and attached it as my first layer.
Two more layers layer and I was finished! Probably the fastest T&A project yet, as I didn't really feel like making this with too much structure.
I'd hate to end with post without first giving you a sneak peak into some future Thrifted & Altered posts!
I guess I had red on the brain when I went to Salvation Army yesterday because I came home with a maroon blazer, a red floral print dress, and a sailboat pattered pair of pants. The blazer fits perfect but the dress and pants are getting a make over as soon as I finish typing this post. I'm just too excited about those boats!!
Don't forget, you can follow Adventures of a Vintage Hippo on facebook and pinterest! Thanks for reading!
