wiww-making an old dress new

I have had this dress for years, probably at least 5 years. I just couldn’t get myself to get rid of it since I had only worn it once and there was nothing wrong with it. Recently I revisited getting rid of it yet again but this time I decided if I couldn’t make it work it was outta here! I put it on and tried to figure out what I like and didn’t like about it. I didn’t like that the style was out of date, it was kind of see through, and the waist sat kind of low. I liked the shape of the skirt and that was really it so I thought, duh, turn it into a skirt. I chopped the top off, sewed the top together where the buttons met on the soon to be waist, folded down the excess to make a tube, added elastic, finished it off and done. I had a finished skirt. Here it is 2 ways.
