How do I turn a dress into a skirt?
Your floral dress is still a staple in your wardrobe, you love it... But you've worn it for so many occasions that it has a taste of "déjà (TOO) vu"? We've got the solution to give it a facelift without spending a penny.
Why give your dress a second life by transforming it into a pretty, fashionable skirt?
Twister, relooking old clothes is our speciality! Make an appointment with one of our Tillists at your home to determine together the spirit of the skirt you want to make. A short skirt? Mini or midi-length? This will depend on the initial length of your dress.
Upcycle your dress for a mini skirt
If you opt for a mini skirt, here we go! The transformation will consist of cutting off the top of your dress to keep only the bottom. High waist? Low waist? Depending on the style you choose, both are possible.
A little tip: with the top of the dress, your Tilliste can create a belt for a pretty finishing touch around the waist of your skirt.
The next step is to determine the location of the skirt closure. There are several possible solutions. Either your skirt will open in the back or on the side. Small buttons or zip? The choice is yours.
You can also customize your skirt by adding gold buttons or more vibrant summer colors! And if you don't have any at home: our partner Swarovski Professionnels offers you magnificent pearls and stones to sew on for all your TILLI creations! Discover all our inspirations.
The transformation is almost complete, your sewist will need to make a small hem on the bottom of your skirt and you're done!
And for the long skirt
As we're not short of ideas at Tilli, here are a few ideas for transformations if you decide to turn your maxi dress into a long skirt.
First of all, as with the short skirt, your Tilliste can create a belt with fabric scraps recovered from the top of your dress. This will create a beautiful finishing touch to the top of your skirt. And to add a little original twist, why not create an opening down the middle front and bring in little buttons all the way down, very on-trend. The option of a front slit is also conceivable for a slightly sexier twist ladies!
Finally, your long skirt can be opened either in the middle back or on the side, using small buttons or a zip.
Our expertise in upcycling will help you find solutions to renew your wardrobe and transform the pieces that are dear to you (or your old clothes) by giving them a second life.
