Recently I took a skirt I had made a couple years ago and decided to alter it. It was a little hard to get up the courage take it apart for two reasons; 1. the skirt was a part of an outfit that won first place at the fair, and 2. altering it would mean basically taking it all apart, french seams and all, and putting it back together.
I wanted to alter it because I found the last couple years I didn't wear it very much because it was really long and had an elastic waist which I wasn't too fond of.
I took out the elastic and casing and shortened it from the top. I then made a yoke, and added a zipper on the side.
