My dear blog friend, Jenn, started a new flickr group called Sunday Best. It's fabulous dress inspiration! Jenn has great style and I love looking at all of the additions. Here's my Sunday Best this week: It all started at DI. I saw this muumuu and had to have it for a skirt refashion. I've seen so many gathered skirts at stores like H&M and Forever 21 that are so adorable, but too short for my style. 30 minutes and $6 later, I have a skirt that goes just below the knee.

Here's what I did:

• I roughly measured the length that I wanted
• Cut the skirt part off
• finished the cut edge with a zig zag stitch
• measured elastic to my waist & zig zag stitched it together
• gathered the skirt to the size of the waist band
• zig zag stitched the skirt to the elastic
• removed the gathered stitch
• ironed
• accessorized

Now that I'm finished, I'm thinking that I could shorten the dress even more, like right at the knee or just above. I think it'd make the proportions look a little better. I love this skirt, it would be perfect for the middle of the summer when it's blazing hot, but I'll settle for wearing it in the middle of September.
