This skirt is my new favorite project. Sorry about the color quality of the photos, the main image is the true pattern and shade of the skirt. Pretty much I just cut up a pair of extra large men's suit pants in the pinstripe pattern, and sewed them back together with lace and tulle embellishments!I didn't take pictures while I was working because honestly I had no idea what I was doing xD But, if you guys really want a tutorial, tell me and I can try to make a usable one with MSpaint. Special Thanks to.... Becca K. because her Burlesque Bustle Skirt tutorial taught me how to do the ruffles in this one! Here's her tutorial --> http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/burlesque_bustle_skirt and my boyfriend for giving me his pants :P
