A lovely work colleague gave me this light cotton dress to have when I was pregnant with Mouse.
It was lovely and cool to wear during the Hawkes Bay summer, but then the belly got too big and I was worried I would stretch it too much.
It did end up getting all out of shape, so I haven't worn it in about 2 years!
As you can see from the before picture I unpicked the top bit from the skirt.

I then over locked the top of the skirt and folded it down about 5 cm. I sewed a straight line around the top to make a tunnel with about 5 cm gap at the back
I then threaded some 2 cm wide elastic through the gap with a safety pin and sewed it shut.
I think I have worn this skirt about 10 times already, which is about a 100% improvement to it gathering dust in my wardrobe. I think it could be made to be a bit more fitting, but it is super comfy.
I still have the top bits and straps which I'll have to find something to do with.
Any ideas?
