Here we have your typical skirt. A blurry picture so let me describe.....cotton, some simple embroidery detail, a sequin here and there.
A white cotton lining.
First things first, lets use what is there. A nice zipper in the back so lets make use of that and leave the back flat. A piece of trim in the front that will make a nice casing for a piece of elastic to gather the front up, so lets use that. You can see the untrimmed end of elastic in the picture.
Once I got the elastic in, I trimmed those ends off.
If I shorten the underskirt....
and attach it to the outerskirt on the rightside of the fabric....
leaving a little hole so I can pull it rightside out....
(no need to serge since it will never be seen)
like this......
I am left with a bubble skirt!
Add ribbon straps as a little embellishment and you have a bubble dress.
Nice huh?
