Quick High Waisted Skirt Modification Tutorial

by | May 2, 2012 | Clothing-Tutorials, Craft, Tutorial

Nice quick skirt modification today.

I used to wear this skirt when I worked in an office, it’s really pretty but it hangs too low on my waist for my current wardrobe. I originally bought it at the Valley Girl outlet store for $4 and like 6 years later it’s still going strong 😀

These days I wear things of  different silhouette so I decided to take the skirt in and make it high waisted, here’s the end result.

This was very straight forward. Skirt before:VioletLeBeauxHigh-Waisted-Work-Skirt239_17096I tried on the skirt and held it as high as I wanted it. Then I folded the left over fabric and pinned it in place. This is the view while having it on, you may need someone else’ help to pin without sticking yourself XD

I then took it off and made sure there were no creases along the fold. Once it was completely flat and following the lines of the pleats already in the skirt, I stitched it down.
