High-Waist Corduroy Skirt---Recycled

Description
I thrifted this corduroy dress that was way too big, hoping to make it into something wearable. I am so excited about how it turned out! Its basically Nayantara’s “How To: Make a Quick Party Skirt” with only a few modifications, and obviously changing it to a high waist. I’m excited to use the upper half of the original dress to create a vest, most of the work there is done anyway!

hey this looks so good I decided to make one and looked up the party skirt tutorial. How wide is the waistband on yours?

Brilliant! Makes me wanna raid my wardrobe – I am sure there is plenty hidden there I could use for recycling. I love that high waist on your skirt!
