I actually did this one a few weeks ago but never got around to posting it. This started off as a Goodwill find -- a loooong pleated skirt that was too big for me, but I liked the coral color and the pleats. Bonus - it had a sash already attached! How convenient for making a halter-style sun dress.

I actually don't have any photos of the in-process refashioning because 1. I didn't have my dress form yet, so I was really just winging it. 2. I didn't know I was going to blogging about these things.
Basically, I took in each side several inches and then cut out that excess fabric. I also chopped a few inches off the bottom -- I didn't hem it (mostly because I hate hemming) but it didn't seem like the fabric would fray. If anyone can tell me which fabrics are prone to fraying, please do!
So - here it is. I actually have worn this out a few times.
