Better

I destroyed my epic fail dress and turned the ruffle into the waistband of a skirt. It's not completely done yet because it is a little too big in the waist and I'd like it to be snug so that my mediocre hem job is less noticeable--see how it's sagging in the front a little bit? This second picture shows the skirt better and the asterisks mark evidence that it's still too big. I had to lead with the other picture, though, because it shows 1) how silly I feel taking my own picture for a blog, and 2) my pile of random fabric on the ironing board. More on that project later.
