studio waterstone tutorial diy

This diy summer dress tutorial is so easy that you will be amazed - really. In fact, the only item needed is an elastic waist maxi skirt - really.

Be sure to check out the challenge associated with this DIY...there's a PRIZE! (challenge is now closed)

I've had this white crochet skirt for years and actually had it in the Goodwill pile, but something kept holding me back. This weekend, inspiration struck.

What do you have to do? Pull it northward and belt (or don't).

The skirt lining was the ideal length and the ties were already beaded!
I did absolutely nothing.

How's that for gorgeous and easy? My model has a new dress.

Hope you've been inspired.

    Oh, I love that! But, sadly, I don't have a skirt that looks that good to form into a diy dress. Or a belt that wide and cute. The only thing I have out of that outfit is the jean jacket. :(

    I think a potato sack would look good on her but what a great diy tutorial :-)
    I am with Patty :-P Up, up and away would be nice.

    lol. Glass is half full!! How many elastic waste skirts can you find at Goodwill? Hundreds. I guarantee that if you tried it, it would work. Guarantee! But I'm laughing over your comments. :)

    I love this! I have a white linen skirt that is too long to wear anymore and I might just have to do this!
