I found this two-pieced dress/outfit at the shop for a few bucks.

The only plus side to this is that I can get at least two items out of it. First thing to tackle was the skirt. The waist's elastic was stretched out and the length was atrocious. I cut it off with about an inch allowance to make it fall around knee-length.
 |
| Don't worry. This remnant will find another home soon! |
Trying to create a pocket for new elastic without securing the pleats would prove to be nigh impossible, so I sewed a couple lines across the pleats to keep them in place.

| Lines in the picture are not as wonky as they appear. I promise. |
I created a pocket for the elastic, threaded it through, finished it off, and this skirt was finished!

I paired this with a black top and my old reliable red knot bead necklace.

| Apparently I stand with my legs crossed while I teach, or so a student told me. |
The length is just right about the knee, and the pleats fall nicely. Who doesn't like a bright skirt for a day at work?
 |
| This might be my attempt at looking coy, not sure |
